This review is from: Solaris 2.X: Internals and Architecture (J. Ranade Workstation Series) (Paperback)

Not a great book, but it's the only book I've found on Solaris 2.x internals.

Writing is only fair, and the text is full of spelling errors and other aggravating typos. Author does a pretty good job of explaining the differences between Solaris 2.x and other versions of UNIX.
