Summary: good book, but too many errata
Comment: Very good book to get up to speed with the unix side of OS X.
But: there are too many errata in the book, especially with figures or tables that contain inconsistencies with the accompanying texts.

Summary: Matisse Enzer Gets It -- This is a great book
Comment: I'm on a quest to learn Perl to write CGI scripts and I want to do it all on my Mac using the wonderful tools that come with OS X. One problem, I haven't used Unix in years (since college) and even then I couldn't do much more than navigate around using "ls" on the command line. Suffice it to say that I am very much a "newbie".
I looked at all of the books in this category and chose this one by Matisse Enzer. My instincts were right on -- this is a great book.
It is well written, well organized and very easy to follow. It is both a book that you can sit down and read as well as a useful reference. The logical path that Matisse takes the reader through to learn the essential Unix invocations and other mystical Unix-spellcraft makes learning a pleasure!
In less than a week, I was able to configure my Apache server and the powerful Sendmail program included with OS X. This goes well beyond the basics that are also inluded in the book (there is a lot of great beginner stuff). Matisse helped me to absord the fundamentals quickly so I was able to move onto more advanced subjects without wasting any time.
I am definitely a beginner when it comes to Unix, however, Matisse lays the concepts out so well, I already feel confident taking on more advanced Unix projects.
Get this -- when I did run into a snag, I went to the Apple help forums to get an answer. Guess who answered my post that same day? Thats right, Matisse Enzer. He did everything but autograph my book -- which I am still working on ;)
Buy this book -- you won't be sorry.

Summary: the best of all worlds
Comment: This book opens the wonderful world of unix to everyone who wants to know more of what happens under the hood of the fabulous Macintosh operating system. Beautifully organized, well written, and full of vital information (and accessorized with tons of great hints), Matisse Enzer wrote a book for anyone who wants to understand unix; being on a Mac just makes it that much more fun.
