I can tell you from experiance---- *BUY THE BOOK* Get the CD/Book combo, it's well worth it. I still reference the book now. I've tried reading books on learning UNIX...*SIGH* I get bored after 50 pages, I prefer to explore, and when I get stuck, look it up. Good luck, and feel free to e-mail me personally with questions.
