1.0 out of 5 stars
Not worth the effort to order, August 10, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: UNIX Performance Tuning (Sys Admin-Essential Reference Series) (Paperback)
This book is too general and too basic. It barely covers the tools needed for performance tuning and does not explain what you need to look for and why. For example, the entire chapter for NFS is only 11 pages. I expected more from the editors of _Sys Admin_.

This review is from: UNIX Performance Tuning (Sys Admin-Essential Reference Series) (Paperback)
This book is a good intro/overview of unix system administration. It doesn't deal strictly with "performance" as in horsepower. It probably should have been called "UNIX System Tuning";
