Editorial Reviews

Review

"With the Digital UNIX System Administrator's Guide, author Matthew Cheek presents an exceptionally thorough and logical examination of Digital UNIX administration and concerns. He defines each term and concept as he introduces the accompanying techniques. Cheek presents an introduction to the chapters detailing what the chapter contains. He employs a rare continuity from chapter to chapter. For example, the Installation chapter leads into System Configuration, which bridges into User Accounts. This is a superb addition to existing general administration documentation and an excellent guide to the Digital UNIX system." - Elizabeth Zinkann, SysAdmin, Books: A User's Report, Apr/1999

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, June 18, 1999
By A Customer
If you are already familiar with the basics of the Digital Unix operating system (or, Tru64 Unix), this one is a great value. It teaches not only the basics of the System Adminstrator's work, but on the small but important details. I mostly liked the chapter about Security (which lacks in many other books).

4.0 out of 5 stars Compaq/Digital Unix Guide - Very Useful, March 28, 2001
I'm a UNIX System Admin and I've used this Guide frequently. My primary flavor is HP-UX but I'm also responsible for a spattering of Compaq (Digital) servers as well. I've had no problems locating commands or understanding their usage. This Guide works. Don't be misled by the "DIGITAL" in the title - all the commands are the same <G>...just the name has changed ( to Compaq ). Best Regards, turtlex.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource for beginners in Digital sysadmin, December 31, 1999
By dpant@hotmail.com (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
A must for all the Digital system administration guys. Gives most of the stuff required for the system administration work. After going through the book one can understand with clarity all the concepts of tru64unix. Beginners benefit the most.
