English Edition Jerry Peek , Grace Todino Editorial Review
**** "Learning the UNIX Operating System: A Concise Guide for the New User" serves as a foundational resource that effectively demystifies the UNIX operating system for beginners. This book is particularly praised for its concise yet rich content, making it an ideal starting point for those who are new to UNIX or transitioning from other operating systems like macOS. Customers have noted that the book covers essential commands and fundamental concepts with clarity and detail, facilitating a smooth learning experience without overwhelming the reader. The compact size of the book—just under 150 pages—means it is accessible and not intimidating for those facing the UNIX command line for the first time. Users appreciate the straightforward explanations and layout, which not only aids in comprehension but also makes it a useful teaching tool for instructors in introductory classes. While the book excels in its approach to the basics of UNIX, some users have expressed a desire for supplementary resources, such as a cheat sheet featuring the commands discussed, which could enhance their learning experience. Despite this minor drawback regarding additional reference materials, the overall reception is overwhelmingly positive. Beginners seeking a comprehensible introduction to UNIX will find this guide invaluable as they navigate the command line and gain foundational skills necessary for various computing tasks. **
