Re: [SAGE] Where to start?

["Scott Frost" <frost_scott53@hotmail.com>]

Anthony,
O'reilly makes a great book called "Learning the UNIX operating system" (I 
think that's right).  It has a good framework to start someone into UNIX 
that hasn't had any exposure.  I'd start with this book as a basis becuase 
it uses the typical "Hello world" concept, teaches the basic commands and 
even a little vi ,etc.
Take a look,
