A great way to learn the basics. It'll be old, but that's ok. It's going to cover all the shell basics and then more. It's still going to be useful, it'll cost you pennies, you'll be able to dip into it when you want, and you'll be giving to a good cause.

FFS! Yeah, right. Let's all learn about init.d , Xfree86.conf, samba, and how to recompile a kernel using curses.

Yeah, those old books were out of date when they came out.

Of course there are going to be passages to skip as with any technical reference.
