My recent book, titled "Introduction to UNIX/Linux" is published by Charles River Media and Delmar/Thomson Publishing, Copyright 2007, ISBN 10: 1-58450-449-8 and ISBN 13: 978-1-58450-449-8. I designed and wrote this textbook to present common use of UNIX/Linux in a variety of fields and professions, including Computer Science, Information Technology, Business, Mathematics, and Engineering. I also designed this textbook to target both the academic environment as well as the trade market, so the reader can effectively learn UNIX/Linux concepts in a classroom setting as well as on their own for work, educational, or personal use. This book is currently used at colleges and universities around the United States.
To enhance and reinforce the material presented in this book, this book includes a data DVD-ROM that contains a fully functional Fedora™ Linux system that one can install on their own computer. To further facilitate learning, the DVD-ROM also contains data files for the examples given in the book, thus allowing the reader to follow the text discussion in an applicative fashion. Lastly, the DVD-ROM contains presentation slides that an instructor may use in a classroom environment.
