An introductory, tutorial style text covering the basics of UNIX and Linux for the complete beginner, this is a comprehensive and well written introduction to these operating systems. It assumes no prior knowledge of programming nor any experience of using computers.

About the Author

Stephen Jarvis was born in Essex, England. Following graduate studies at Oxford University, he quickly tired of his office job and began doing unusual things every weekend and writing about them for The Daily Telegraph. These activities included learning the flying trapeze, walking on red-hot coals, getting hypnotized to revisit past lives, and entering the British Snuff-Taking Championship. Death and Mr. Pickwick is his first novel. He lives in Berkshire, England.
