Rating:  Summary: Excellent general reference for both beginners and experts! Review: I am constantly referring to this book to help me solve a UNIX problem or refresh my memory on a routine task. Great cross-platform coverage. I highly recommend this book to both beginners and experts. If you only have room in your library for one UNIX book, this is it!
Rating:  Summary: Good book Review: This is a great book for info. But it should better be organized to cover more indepth of Solaris. It skins the surface on some topics. Overall, it has the most info than any other books that I can find.

Rating:  Summary: Great Reference Book Review: I bought this book wanting more on the theory of administration, what I got was more of a reference book. As a reference, this box is great - it has everything you'll need - from adding disks, to dialing in and out /w getty. As a bonus, unlike some books, this one contains a lot of examples for Linux too (all the screenshots are done on a Linux box). While it's not what I wanted, it's still worth every penny I paid for it. - Remove NOSPAM to reply!
Rating:  Summary: One of the best sysadmin books around Review: This book should be on every sysadmin's bookshelf. Better yet, it is so well-written and useful that you will find it never on your shelf but next to your terminal or in your hands for years to come.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent book Review: I bought this book and a book specifically on System V. Nine time out of ten the solution was in this general purpose book and not in the System V book (which turned out to be really disappointing). Plus I administer three flavours of Unix (HP-UX, Solaris and Linux) which are all covered by this suprising book. A real find.
