1.0 out of 5 stars
A don't learn Solaris book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Solaris Advanced System Administrator's Guide (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I can't see how a book like this gets published, but there is no other Solaris book so many people are stuck with it. Examples are lame and only touches the surface. Sun Educational Services has excellent books that you get with the course (about $1500/5 days) that's better. Why don't they publish that instead?

I'd give this zero stars, if I could.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Solaris Advanced System Administrator's Guide (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I could entertain the notion that the author really doesn't know much about the subject at hand. The omissions and lack of detail are stunning. Imagine the author dumping the man pages and other Solaris documentation into wordprocessor files and arranging them into imagined "Administrator Guides" and you have an idea of what might have happened.

1.0 out of 5 stars
The book needs work,
By A Customer
This review is from: Solaris Advanced System Administrator's Guide (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
I bought both Solaris books because I couldn't find anything else on Solaris. To my disappointment, I found countless typos and no in-depth info whatsoever. Sometimes I wonder if the author knows the subject herself... Now, if you're looking for a great book on system administration, check out UNIX Sys Admin handbook by Evi Nemeth and friends... It's slightly overpriced, but worth the money! I hope J. Winsor continues to improve on both Solaris guides, because both of them definitely need to be beefed up. I was hoping Sun would read the books before putting their logo on them.
