I thank everybody for your replies. I think I'll get Hertland's book since it's newer than O'reillys. I don't want to become a programmer. Neither Python is part of my studies. I've finished with my studies. I want to become a Unix/Linux admin and knowledge of either Python or Perl is an asset. Do you think that this book is the right one for me? Ioannis
