Joey,
Lehey's book is great and worth the price of buying the CD/Book
package
IMO, but I would also recommend 'UNIX for the Impatient' (2nd
edition) by
Paul W. Abrahams and Bruce R. Larson, ISBN 0201823764. Yes, it was a
bit
pricey at approx $30, but is well worth the price. It is more of a
reference
book than a 'read start to finish' kind of book. But, it explains the
differences
in commands between the different versions of UNIX and when there is
a major
difference, it is going to be great to know just which options work
on BSD.
Regards,
Jay
