Caveat Lector: These are some notes for a basic course on Unix which I co-taught many years ago at the University of Calgary. I keep them online in the hope that they may be useful to someone. However, they are not maintained. They may contain information specific to one (historic) network, which will not apply universally. Links may be broken.

Cpsc 001 Outline

Part one notes

Part two notes

Sample "dot files"

Makefile example

Some useful things (including pdf format reference cards for vi, emacs, and general unix) can be found at http://riceinfo.rice.edu/Computer/Documents/. Keep in mind that these links probably contain some information which is specific to another network and which is different for ours.
