Is Unix Hard to Learn?
Contents

UNIX and LINUX isn’t that hard to learn. As Kraelis said if you’re proficient in DOS and command lines then you’ll be just fine. You just have to remember some simple commands (ls, cd, cp, rm, mv, grep, vi, several others) and some of the switches for them.

How long does it take to learn Unix?

As you can see, it takes some time and experience to become a proficient Unix administrator (or a good Windows administrator). There’s a lot more involved than just managing the server itself. Yeah, five years is a pretty good rule of thumb estimate.

Is it worth learning UNIX?

If you mean is it worth learning to use of the command line on a Unix-like system, if you’re going to manage a Unix-based server or servers then definitely Yes. You’ll need to learn the file system commands and the core utilities too.
