Having a general Unix/Linux background, this book did not contain much that I did not know already. Yet I recommend it because not everything that worked from my Solaris and Red Hat background, translated directly to OS X. Pretty close, but not exactly. The same can be said of Solaris and Red Hat. Some things in Solaris don’t work or exist in Red Hat, and vice versa.

Going through this book, I know what things will work in OS X, and where to look for more information, as this book is not exhaustive, but an introduction. I’d recommend that hard core Unix/Linux folks skip this book, those with so-so experience like me, pick it up as a general guide. Those who are curious and new to Unix/Linux, should definitely get a copy.

The book is a relatively brief, but a clear and straightforward guide to Unix for OS X.
