Well said. Unix is an opertaing system that does require a little bit of
patience and understanding. Which in my opinion makes it all the more fun.
As a freely distributed OS it has come a long way and deserves the credit
it gets. Most documentation is on the web so users who are already on the
Internet can avoid purchasing books as well...
I personally found the RedHat docs pretty easy to follow, and at the time
my first install of RedHat and I was new to Unix. After reading on the web
and asking a few colleagues I managed to install it over a weekend and
learnt lots from my mistakes :)
