Newbie in need of help
Hey all. I am a MS person that is looking to get into real computing for a change. I have seen a few different references to "UNIX Essentials and Core" DVD in different newbie threads and a quick intraweb search on Google only comes up with links to this forum and an Amazon review.

Does anyone have a copy of this that they are looking to unload or willing to burn for a small fee?

Any help at all would be appreciated greatly.

Thanks in advance.

Just saw in another thread that I was missing a key word in my search....

Found a few copies availabe at commercial outfits, still would prefer to save a few bucks if anyone has a used copy for sale.

Why pay when there are so many free resources online?
Just do a Google search for unix tutorials.

Here are a few:
