        Hi.

A few moths ago there was an article in this newsgroup from some
person wishing to see books introducing newbie to unix world.  Only
thing I remember is that title of one of proposed books was something
like "X is not a horror".  Does anyone have this article saved?  Or
maybe original author has the copy.  If so, please send me it (at the
address in the sig).  I tried DejaNews but had either thousands of
hits or none.  I don't know how to force engine to search for
doublequote (" - HTML escapes don't work) which would greatly narrow
the search range.

Salute.

"Unix for Dummies" seems good.  It has only occasional goofs (like
insinuating that login prompts always look like "ttys02 login: ".
