It really depends on what level your other computing experience is at. If
you're familar with RiscOS command line I'd go for Unix Power Tools by Peek,
O'Reilly and Loukides, published by Random House in conjunction with telling
you to type 'man man' and 'man apropos' at the command line. If you don't use
the RiscOS command line then you probably need something aimed a bit lower,
possibly a Dummies book or UNIX in a Nutshell (O'Reilly and associates).
