1.0 out of 5 stars
Ok...this is worth buying a shredder for,
By A Customer
This review is from: AIX Version 4: System and Administration Guide (Paperback)
As an AIX admin that has have been doing everything from the "old" MCA boxes to SP frames, including being a systems engineer/admin independant contractor to IBM, this is the worst book I have ever seen. I picked most of knowledge up in about 3 years and bought this book thinking it might give some help after my upgrade to 4.2.1 from 3.2.5. NOPE! This is totally useless and doesn't even go into CDE or most of the intricate differences of 3.2.5. Smitty isn't everything people. Move along...

Save your money,
By Richard Gadd; (Kansas City) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AIX Version 4: System and Administration Guide (Paperback)
This book is just plain bad. I haven't been able to find any redeeming item inside. I hope somebody reads these reviews and decides not to buy this book. Maybe that would be the redeeming effort I'm looking for. Usually I can mine a few nuggets out of a bad or marginal book but this one takes the cake. Please save your money, and send a message to the publisher they will listen to. This book should've been caught somewhere in quality control and never made it to the printing presses.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Worst index I've ever seen,
By A Customer
This review is from: AIX Version 4: System and Administration Guide (Paperback)
I bought this as a reference for AIX, as I'm coming over from Solaris and HP/UX. Big mistake. It's nearly impossible to look up anything in this book. It has literally the worst index I've ever seen. I just ordered "The AIX Survival Guide" by Siegert, which I'm told is more what I need. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this book.
