Good book on Unix

Straitsfan · #1 (**permalink**) 02-25-2009

I'm learning about Unix on my mac through the terminal application. I like it quite a bit. I'm finishing the chapter on Unix from my Mac OS X the missing manual, and it's whetted my appetite. Can anyone recommend a good book on beginning Unix (starting at beginner to intermediate). I'd like something that starts from the ground up -- with definitins, explanations, etc and practice examples, that sort of thing. A lot of the books I've come across for computers are to dry and don't explain things clearly, which is very frustrating.

I have OS X leopard, and the only Unix for Mac I've come across is for Tiger, which is outdated. I don't want to learn an old system and then have to figure out the new one.
