B.8 UNIX Complete

Although most Linux books talk about the details of the ext2 file system, configuring the video board, etc., they do not tell you how to use Linux. This is what UNIX Complete will do. Every review that this author saw gave it five stars (out of five). Some of the review comments on Amazon include

An indispensable book for Linux novices. This is the first computer book ever to make me cheerful reading it.

I needed this book to get up to speed for a course that used UNIX. I now have a good enough knowledge of the system to do simple scripts and a reference at my fingertips. Everything is explained clearly and quickly. It's the smartest $20 [US$15.99 discounted] you can spend on a UNIX book!

This is the first UNIX book I bought. I love it a lot. It teaches you the fundamentals of how to use the operating system. With a desktop reference of commands, utilities, and terms you will refer to this book for years.
