3.0 out of 5 stars
Good for a beginner but lacking much,
By A Customer
This review is from: UNIX System Administrator's Interactive Workbook (Interactive Workbook (Prentice Hall)) (Paperback)
This book is good for an advanced user looking to get an introduction to administrative commands. I found this book lacking in many topics but the few they do cover are presented in easy to follow exercises. It's generic in its approach to which flavour of UNIX they're catering to with the exception of a couple of Solaris only dedicated chapters. Admittedly I never would have bought this book if I had discovered Aeleen Frisch's Essential System Administration first.
