UNIX Performance Tuning; Sys Admin-Essential Reference Series

Rating:
Summary: System Tuning manual, yes
Review: The reviewer below is absolutely correct, it's not a performance-oriented book per se, it's more of a system tuning manual. As such it's good though a bit general, basically an overview of the standard unix tools used for that task. Another slight flaw of this book is that it contains no index whatsoever, not a good (neither accepted) practice for any, much less, technical book. Still, for what it is it's OK overall.

Rating:
Summary: good overview
Review: This book contains a good overview of maintenance that needs to be performed on a system. Probably should have been called "Unix System Administration Tuning"

Summary: good overview
Review: This book is a good intro/overview of unix system administration. It doesn't deal strictly with "performance" as in horsepower. It probably should have been called "UNIX System Tuning";
