3.0 out of 5 stars Good overview but no meat, March 31, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: SCO Companion: The Essential Guide for Users and System Administrators (Paperback)
This book talks about just about every aspect of the SCO operating system - but at a high level. It is helpful in understanding how files and process interact with each other but if you actually want to use this information at the keyboard of your SCO system, look elsewere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Turns SCO system administration into a pleasant experience, December 4, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: SCO Companion: The Essential Guide for Users and System Administrators (Paperback)
Mr. Mohr - I originally got your book 2 years ago when I was thrown into a SCO admin position. This book has made my experience w/ SCO not only pleasant but rewarding at the same time. If there is a more thorough, better written text on the market I know not of it.
