edgI have 132 people reading this journal. I bet at least one of you has an opinion on this.
I'm interested in learning more about using *nix, which I've never really been very good at, via my iBook. Can any of the Mac fans out there recommend to me a book specifically about using the BSD derivative that OS X Panther uses? Would I be better served getting something like The Mac OS X Bible?

I bet there's a lot you can learn online without buying a book, though. Installing and playing with linux on a cheapo PC is another good way to learn. Go with a easy distro that's not TOO user-friendly, so you actually get to play with the whole system. I like Slackware or Gentoo for that..
