As author of this title, I would like to respond to the posted review which refers to the printing error. Unfortunately a portion of the first printing of my book included manufacturing errors. This has since been corrected and I can assure you currently all of the examples are readable. If you have a first printing of the book and think it may have errors, please return it to your reseller or contact the publisher at ptr_feedback@phptr.com for a corrected copy of the title. The publisher and I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Its a printing error. For anyone who has the same problem, go to the following URL:

It will tell you what you need to do to resolve the problem.

I recommend that, if you see the book in a book store, check it carefully before purchasing.

I have read this book and think it's great! As someone who has been working with HP Integrity (Itanium) servers from the beginning, this book will be next to me, on my desk at work. Prior to finding this book, I relied most on my own collection of notes from various sources on the web. Marty has put many of those topics in one location. This is a great reference book! Leaving much of the basic "fluff" behind, which administrators already are all too familiar, Marty cuts to the "administrator's meat" leaving other basic Linux books behind. He hits the mark in chapters detailing EFI, kernel tuning and customizing, startup and shutdown scripts, and networking are discussed. Not at the high level, for those who always wanted to be admin, and are not, but in depth, practical, working knowledge with web references, too. Marty, we need more books like this on leading edge technologies. Are you taking any new requests?
