One can do worse than "Unix for Dummies". I can't really review it effectively, since I knew most of what's in it before getting it, but it seems pretty good for a total newbie. What was very helpful to me after I learned some basics was O'Reilly's Unix Power Tools, but that might be overwhelming to people at first.
I would also be interested in recommendations since I sometimes have the same problem with students interested in bioinformatics. -Marshall On Sep 26, 2:12 pm, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > Are there any amazingly good freely available introductions to basic > command line UNIX that people recommend.
