[plug] Unix Beginners Textbook?

[David Griffiths]

>Hi! I'm trying to find a good Textbook for the UNIX Beginner, with as many of
>the following as possible:
>  - Suitable for the UNIX Newbie (assuming DOS/Windows knowledge)
>  - Covering "UNIX" (ie; not a RedHat book -_^)
>  - Reference section of standard UNIX commands
>  - Inclusion of Internet-related stuff (pref. some HTML but not required)
>  - Not too expensive
>  - Available within Perth

You might want to take a look at
        Unix
        The Complete Reference
by
	Rosen, Host, Farber and Rosinski.
	(Osborne - McGraw Hill)
It's a big book, at 1302 pages, has coverage of Solaris and Linus
installation and config
and is billed as
	"The one 'Must Have' book on UNIX for beginners and experienced users"

This was priced at $64.95 at boffins late last year. I haven't used it that
much yet,
but it looks like it might fit the bill.
