Unix: Visual QuickStart Guide is the ideal Unix introduction for any student with little or no experience—and this new edition has been extensively updated to reflect the latest versions of Unix. Deborah S. Ray and Eric Ray teach Unix with exceptional clarity, using the proven Visual QuickStart format: step-by-step explanations, practical tips, and hundreds of screen captures that demonstrate exactly what students will see and what they should do. The book's extensive new coverage includes setting up home networks; using Samba; working with CUPS printing; and much more. This task-based book begins with the simplest and most essential Unix tasks, including logging in; navigating and working with directories and files; and getting help from man pages. One step at a time, students learn to work with the bash, ksh, and csh shells; create, edit, and manipulate files; control ownership and file permissions; configure UNIX environments; run scripts, install programs, and much more. The authors present practical, task-based coverage of sending and reading e-mail; accessing the Internet; working with encoded and compressed files; installing new software; and using key Unix utilities, ranging from cal (calendar) to awk and sed. Unix: Visual QuickStart Guide is appropriate for students learning any version of Unix — including current Linux distributions.
