I can highly recommend "Think Unix" also. I would also recommend the 4.3 release instead of 4.4 for a newbie because the latter is a bit non-conventional <G>: tools are missing, not all shells in post install, etc. This makes Ms Anderson's book a very good choice it has the CD included. If you use Greg's book, keep in mind there's a typo on page 164 that can make you locked out slightly: page 164, where it shows the adduser procedure, line that says : "Invite yana into other groups: no" this "no" is done in bold in his book, which suggests user's input, and if you type it, you won't be able to type "wheel". You can fix it later though editing /etc/group file. three more editions and they will fix it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!
