Summary: If you want to know Unix, buy this book
Review: This book not only covers the major Unix derivates (except for Linux), it is written in an easy to read, but still condensed style. However what this book distinguishes from other books, e.g. the (also very good) Sun Solaris MacMillan books, is that the authors are experienced sysadmins themselfs, talking about real world problems in huge environments. What I appreciated very much, was the appendix on problems and cases that really happend. Overall a great book. If you are serious about Unix, read it.

Summary: A "must-have"!!
Review: Anyone who has to deal with the administration of UNIX systems must have this book. The authors, who are obviously seasoned administrators who have been around the block at least a couple of times, manage to cover almost every subject important to the life of a UNIX system administrator, without skimping on the details. This book applies to any UNIX or UNIX-like system in general, but specific examples are provided for six of the most popular "flavors" of UNIX. The book also includes plenty of real-life examples help to illustrate the points they make. This book is perfect for those of you who are into "free" UNIXes, such as Linux, FreeBSD, and the new "free" releases of Solaris and SCO. So, do not pass GO, do not collect $200, but click on that little order button now and order yourself a copy right away! Hell, buy two copies -- you'll be thumbing through this one so often, that your first copy won't even last a couple months before falling apart!

Summary: EXCELLANT RESOURCE!!!!!
Review: This book has proven its worth for me many times over. Any sys admin will find it useful and easy to understand. The only caveat is that some of the OS's referenced are out dated, though I am sure the 3rd edition will correct that.

Summary: Excellent book, but becoming dated
Review: This book is a *great* reference tool, especially in the way it covers the pariculars of various Unix versions. Some people might be put off by the authors' biases, but I found it refreshing. The only downside is that the OS versions covered are becoming obsolete. I anxiously await the third edition.

Summary: This is the only book Unix Admins need on the shelf.
Review: The Unix System Administration Handbook will be the only Unix book you need to keep on your bookshelf. Get rid of all the other books that only cover certain topics, and get this book. It covers everything from simple procedures to the most complex. It also has sections about policies and mistakes admins usally make. It's an overall great refrence book.
