I think that a good introduction to Unix, some of its naming convenvtions, the philosophy behind the OS, etc. is "Think Unix" by John Lasser by QUE, ISBN 0-7897-2376-X. This will give you a good footing, not just on details, but on the 'whys' of thinks. It will also tell you where to start to find information about things on your own, which is essential. There is a lot of stuff to learn, so only so much can be offered by others ;-) HTH Tim * Edwin Groothuis (edwin@mavetju.org) wrote: > On Sun, Apr 01, 2001 at 05:23:09AM -0400, Rick wrote: > > I am a long time windows user and a new programmer, Now having > > said that I noticed that when I look to Unix/Linux Os I find you > > speak a different language.
