The best textbook I have ever read!! 
Of course, there is a lot of typing on the command line. If you want to learn linux command line syntax, this book is for you! Each chapter builds on the previous and enforces your learning. I wish this author would write some more books. . . maybe an Advanced Linux and Unix book. I developed more linux skills from this book than any other source! I really enjoyed this book and hope others would find it useful as well! I not selling my copy. .
Should be Introduction to Unix and Linux file systems 
Not for newbies who want to learn on how to configure and install other programs for Unix/Linux. This is nothing more but learning the file systems. but this book is good for the one who want to study more on the file systems which goes pretty indepth the lab manual is pretty good too. be prepare to do alot of typing there is no GUI but only the terminal.
Well Thought Out Text and Support Materials
This text has saved me a lot of time by taking students through detailed exercises that work and explaining to them what is going on as they proceed. Reference books do not provide the teaching that new people to the UNIX or Linux world need to quickly come up to speed. The mix of lab, explanation, review, and problems to solve matches the needs of our students. Each command is clearly identified, the type is large enough to read while at the terminal and students do not get lost or frustrated.
Instead of teaching how to accomplish the basics in class, I can help the students explore more advanced questions. They master the skills interacting with the system guided by this text. Students who were afraid of computer science are succeeding with this guide and are returning for more. Advanced students quickly master a thorough foundation. Instructor pack is all illustrations, a way to create quizes on or off line, and support materials. Great jump start for new teachers.
