This is an excellent short guide that will definitely get any new user up and running in a unix environment without any prior knowledge. This book also works fairly well for the Linux newbie as well. Distributing a copy of this book might be well worth the money and time it might save network administrators time and effort in educating the new user.

One should not expect it to cover more advance topic such as administration or networking. But basically on basic concepts on how to navigate the system, run programs, multi-task, and file management. It concludes with a nice pointer to additional references and directions if the reader chooses to become a power user.

Media reviews

"This 3rd edition is revised and expanded, and part of [a] nutshell handbook series intended to get the complete computer novice up and running on a Unix or X-Windows system in a one-hour sitting. Rather that being an introduction to Unix, it's a 'how to use Unix' book. It's also filled with many of the little details and tricks the regular Unix Weenie knows by rote and does so regularly that they forget to tell anyone to tell newcomers. This is the kind of book you set in front of the keyboard in every University terminal room. If you are just beginning to use the Internet and need to understand how to start using Unix on a remote host -- buy this book. (It's actually a rather handy reference even if you've been long using the network." --Book Review, ISOC NEWS, November 1993
