I think it is a decent book

It is ok book for a beginner system administrator. Some see it as incomplete but it is book for a BEGINNER not a guru. Writing about system administration in simple terms and not loose some highpoints is very difficult. If you are beginner and need initial UNIX training I recommend Linux and UNIX for a beginner training suite, 4DVDs + 2CDs includes 4 Unix Academy Certifications ed.2008. It is very straight to the subject, it is a real UNIX class. This book makes a good course ware to the DVD. If you just start with Linux/UNIX and need some insight into SA subjects this book will do!

Overall a good book, but saw a few small problems...

Hi,I'm new to Unix and found the book interesting for a few reasons. First, it is written in a easy fashion, no big words here. Second, it covers both Linux and Solaris systems, which was one of the things I needed since we have both in our shop. Finally, it covers things thatt I didn't see in other books such as RDIST. However, I didn't give the book more stars since I found some pretty stupit typos and errors in several places, which lead me to believe the editing process was not as good as it could be! Also, the book cover it much different from what is listed here. Despite these issues, I liked the book.
