Are you faced with learning UNIX? Have your typed "LS" to see a
list of files, and gotten an error message instead? Relax --
"UNIX For Dummies" guides you through the tricks and traps
of UNIX, while steering you away from all that technical stuff you
don't want to know about. (Hint: try typing "ls" instead! Capitalization
counts.)
