Name one that isn’t good.

If you'll allow "Linux" as "Unix," the LPI Certification book was pretty weak. Several outright errors, and lots of clumsiness.

I didn't get a lot out of <i>Programming with curses</i> either, but to be fair, it is 17 years old, was 8 years old when I bought it, and is only 76 pages.

Dunno, this one was kinda lack-luster:

But yeah, I went and ordered the Unix in a Nutshell one. Thanks, guys!

You have the choice of both Unix or Linux in a Nutshell, I mention this simply because you mention running Unix on a desktop and assumed you were running a Linux distribution.

Yeah.

O'Reilly books about Unix are almost always good.

IS the O'Reilly "Unix in a Nutshell" book a good one?

They are different characters.

That is like Daffy Duck : Donald Duck :: Bugs Bunny : Roger Rabbit.

Donald is racist because daffy is black ... fundamental difference.

It sounds like you want the man pages.

MONKEY MONKEY, on the other hand, wants "man tar".
