Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not wath Iwas expecting
It's like an old book. I was waiting for more on Solaris 10.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book for New or Old System Administrators
The breadth and depth of knowledge in this book is amazing.
I've been a unix admin for 12 years and bought the first edition
quite some time ago. It still sits within reach and I often
carry it back and forth to work as it's that useful. I highly
recommend this book for those who like a practical hands-on

topics in there are so well written ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Uh wow: Written by an true experienced solaris admin
This book is amazing as its not a rehash of points you need to know about to pass the Solaris Certified Sys Admin exam. Instead this is a true to life list of common issues/solutions a REAL sys admin would face in day to day work. The basics of hardware is fantastic and I wish I had this info at the start of my career. Webflash/jumpstart.. fantastic and now part of my server environment. NIS ... fantastic...... DYnAMIC RECONFIGURATION! VOLUME MANAGEMENT!!! This is a True System Adminstrator's Book. ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good book, but needs errata on wiley site.
I think the second edition of the book is fine, except for a couple of errors in the script examples. Although the errors seem trivial there should be an errata published on Wiley's website showing the corrections.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book for Solaris Beginners
This is a very good book for people who know other flavors of Unix and is just starting to work on Solaris. The authors give good examples and real applications and time saving tips so you don't have to waste your time since they already went through that experience !!!
