Overview

This book has an expedient, enduser approach to developing the skill set necessary to navigate Unix-based computer systems. The convenient size and low cost of Understanding Practical Unix make it an ideal supplementary textbook for a variety of courses in the computer science curriculum.

Only useful commands and techniques are covered. Many computer science students possess a working knowledge of operating system commands from prior experience with Microsoft DOS and Windows. This experience is capitalized upon by presenting the parallels between these operating system environments.
