Summary: A COPY OF THE INDEX--CHECK IT OUT!
Review: Understand Unix and want to dig deeper into Solaris Admin? Then this is the book for you. I love this book--it is my new bible and I study it every chance I get. Well written. I had been using Unix for a long time but was weak in Sys Admin. Partly because I didn't have a good reference. Without a knowledge of the boot process, diaganostic tools, I felt I had a major weakness in this area. I looked around for a book that would fill this need and was very happy to find this book. I especially liked the chapter on setting up an Internet site. I listed the index below, since it's one thing I like to read before purchasing a book. Hope this helps you make your decision. The Index: 1. Making Smart Decisions About File Systems 2. Planning Backups and Restores 3. Booting and Hardward Diagnotics 4. Configuring Run States 5. Installing and Patching your Solaris System 6. Exloring Jumpstart 7. Setting up Name Services 8. Network Information Services NIS+ and NIS 9. Monitoring your Environment 10. Understanding File Systems--So that's what those are! 11. Automate everything..Well almost! 12. Keeping your Solaris Systems Secure 13. Implementing High Availability: Eliminating Single Points of Failure 14. Maintaining your Sun Hardware 15. Peripheral Vision: Understanding and Configuring Other Hardware 16. The E10000 (Starfire)--Not Just a Big Unix Box 17. Running an Internet Site 18. Coexisiting with the Evil Empire (Windows)
