Because they're good books? ^_^
I teach UNIX to a bunch of Surveyors and Cartographers, and as far as
UNIX goes (and even general computing for most), they ARE dummies. I've
been told by several students that they got one of the UNIX-related
Dummies books, and it helped them a lot.

But, I can't prescribe it as the Reccommended Text with a title like
that.^_^;;;

And we were all Linux dummies at one stage or another. ^_^
