A broad range of topics, from creating passwords and working with files to shell programs, are covered in this thick volume. However, each one is given the same highly effective treatment of illustrative screen shots and commands, which should prevent readers from getting too lost in the OS. There are also warnings and tips about specific functions and utilities, such as the which and whereis that are used to help located commands and files, throughout the chapters.

For greater detail on specific utilities, the book includes a massive section devoted exclusively to the utilities within Solaris. A master list groups them by function, and subsequent discrete sections outline their purpose, the commands needed to use them, and notes on potential pitfalls. Though some may argue that it is impossible to make Unix variants approachable, this text comes about as close as is possible. --Sarah L. Roberts-Witt

Rik Schneider, Sr. Systems Administrator, SkyLynx Communications Inc.
"This book seems to be the perfect reference to move novices into Solaris quickly. It can be used to train people new to Unix on Solaris and provide a very good starting point for those moving over from another flavor of Unix. Most books on Unix focus on either being a tutorial for new users or being a reference manual for users familiar with some flavor of Unix. There is very little that covers the middle ground and almost none that cover all three levels. I know of no other book positioned in a way that can take a relative novice to performing basic system administration in a minimal amount of time."
