4.0 out of 5 stars good overview
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";

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the effort to order
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_.
