UNIX System Administration Handbook
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.58/5 from 91 reviews Comprehensive!This book not only provides good introduction to understanding of Unix administration, but also unlike many books out there, deals with real issues and problems of system administration. Only reason why I did not give five stars rating is its price. Although this book can be invaluable tool for Unix administrators at all levels, it does not go into greater detail or does lack examples on some of the discussions, and therefore, I felt that the price...is not justified. However, I would consider combination of this book and another reference-type book essential in any serious Unix user's personal library. Unixadministration beginners this book is for ya!!!Well, when i started my unix administration and networking studies i,ve got two books "Unix for programmers and users" and "Unix system administration handbook". First time i opened this book i was scared! Wow! 'It's too heavy for me, better i start with "Unix for programmers ..." Wrong! Learning thousends of commands and shell scripting without understanding how the unix systems works is completly useless! "Unix system administration" handbook gives you almost everything you need to build your own unix administartion baseground! It seems to be hard at the beginning but it's worth your pain! It was much easer for me to keep understading scripting and commands when i read this book! And now working on meny different kinds of unix OS and networks i am still comming back to the source. Why almost, beacause i was missing some deeper chapters about nis or nis+ and tcp/ip networking (i mean routing, subneting adn so on...), but anyway i've got my roots grounded and i keep growing! And now i know what i am looking for! A must for any Unix admin or curious userThis is the best Unix book I have ever read. As soon as I opened the cover, I could not put it down. This book is very in depth. I have read several Unix/Linux books and none come close to this one. If you are an admin or becomming one, or if you want to go beyond being a simple user and know WHY and HOW things work in the *nix environment, then I highly recommend this book. It is expensive, but well worth the price. | ||||||||||||||||||||
