Product Description
From Library Journal
Quick Reference is a follow-up to the authors' popular UNIX for Dummies, providing easy access to UNIX queries in a convenient format. Seven parts describe ever so succinctly basic UNIX commands, motif, text editors, mail, networking, and the shell. Each command is defined in English, displayed in UNIX format with options and their functions, explained by example, and, finally, discussed in further detail relative to other commands. If you aren't ready for an encyclopedia of UNIX commands as a dust collector near your terminal, consider this book as your best guide to the complexities of UNIX linguistics.

Quick Reference is the strong point,
By A Customer
This review is from: UNIX For Dummies: Quick Reference (Plastic Comb)
The Quick Reference guide is exactly that. A quick reference to allow you to get specific information about the aspect in UNIX you are having a problem with. I have a couple UNIX books and I find myself coming to this one, because it keeps it in a nutshell. If you are looking for something to "learn" UNIX, I would keep looking, but if you have read the UNIX books and now you need "one" guide to keep at your fingertips, this would be it.

Handy book, but you might need help if you are not technical,
By "KB" Kamla Srinivasan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: UNIX For Dummies: Quick Reference (Plastic Comb)
When I review Unix books, I come from a totally non-techical perspective. I always look at it from a lay-person's perspective, as someone who has to learn to use Unix because that is the only operating system available to use.This is a handy referene book, if you have a basic knowledge of Unix, and are comfortable with using the OS. Sometimes, the explanations tend to be a bit lengthy, and that is something you will find in almost all Unix-related books. So, don't despair if you are unable to follow through completely, reach out to a live person to help you. At least that person will know that you tried to solve the issue, before asking for their help. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
