Review:

'Subtitled Help for Unix System Administrators, this is the essential reference. The first edition was a classic of clarity and was devoid of any extraneous detail. The second edition follows that tradition... Everyone charged with administering a Unix system needs a reference guide. This one puts the facts at your fingertips in a concise, yet readable style with little or no fluff.' IT Training, December 1999/January 2000
