An excellent and easy to follow introduction to UNIX

this book explains all the important basic topic every UNIX user should know, even if she/he does not need to write scripts. In particular, if you have been a UNIX user since a long time, just using the basic commands (ls, cd etc - because at the university/college it was the OS by default and basically you had no choice ;) ) and now want/need to go a little bit further down the road, this is the book to start with. Title could have been "Everything you ever wanted to know about UNIX ... " because it also tells about the little stories behind the commands - origin of names, why, who, when etc. A good book, for sure.
