5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful material, but screenshot heavy, March 8, 2006

By	Jack D. Herrington "engineer and author" (Silicon Valley, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I love the books in the Little Black Book series. The text is tight. The material is always relevant. And the examples are good. And this book falls right in line with that. The only place where the book goes wrong is that it's screenshot heavy, which is unusual. That being said, a good resource for Mac OS X users. Definitely worth a look.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on OSX Server, June 20, 2006

By	Erin A. Scott (Sierra Madre, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a great general introduction to the ins and outs of OSX server. It covers every aspect of OSX server that an admin would need to know and is lovingly sprinkled with real life examples for when the stuff hits the proverbial fan.

It's concise, no nonsense and a great tool to have in my arsenal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of all the Xserve books purchased!, June 22, 2006

By	Curtis Gomez (Burbank, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had purchased an Xserve to do audio and video file sharing across our network. I found that most other books (Mac OSX server Essentials and Essential Mac OSX Server Administration) tended to be parroting the help menu in the Xserve and really didn't advance my understanding. But with the Little Black Book I had the server up and sharing files the day the book arrived. This book has everything most people need to know without being unnecessarily complex. Many of the other books constantly referred to the terminal to do functions that are easier to do in the GUI. Unix isn't that incredibly difficult but if I don't have to go there, all the better. If you want to get an Xserver up and going fast, BUY THIS BOOK!
