Hans,

I used Kernighan & Pike, "The Unix Programming Environment" (Prentice
Hall) to learn Unix. 

It is tutorial in nature, easy to understand, and works especially well if
you've got a terminal in front of you and actually type in the examples as
you go along.

Mark Sobell's book is the best.  (A Practical Guide to the UNIX System, pub. by
Benjamin/Cummings.)  A new edition is reportedly coming very soon, with a review
by yours truly on the back cover...
