Awesome!

I'm surprised how much content was put in this book. They did an excellent job on covering a wide array of topics: Unix commands, XWindow System, File/Dir System, tools, Shell Programming, KornShell, C, and Bash environment, Samba, and Internet Programming. It also dedicates some time with C++, Perl, and Java, which made me happy. A plus for man documantion listings. My only grudge is the index, which could've been bigger and more detailed when searching specific topics on the fly.
Great Book!

Perfect for pointing my junior SA's in the right direction! The shell chapters let them get more detail on the user environment, the administration and performance sections provide them a taste of real SA work, and the introductory chapters on programming give them a solid foothold on the way to deep unix.I'm particularly happy with the included man pages. Too many books just give a short blurb on a command; reading the man page can open greater opportunities.I recommend this book for any low-mid level unix admin. If you're a supervisor or manager, get one for all your SA's!
Easy to Use

This book contains good, practical, and useful information. It is both a good book to read through, and a good reference tool. It contains alot of information that is used on a regular basis. It also teaches some neat commands that you might not normally use, but would save you lots of time to know them. Having been a UNIX Administrator for almost 10 years, I would recommend this book both to new and experienced users.
Wish I had this book when I first learned UNIX!

This is a quality book! It provides a lot of great functional and fundamental information. I think both new and old UNIX users alike could benefit from this in-depth, easy to read book.
