From the Inside Flap

Here's what reviewers are telling us about the book Solaris 8 Essential Reference:

"Solaris 8 Essential Reference is a book that should be on every administrator's shelf. It's easy enough for a "newbie" to pick up and comprehend and, yet, comprehensive enough to fulfill the needs of a senior-level administrator--each will find what they are looking for whether it be an in-depth description of a command, or a quick check of command syntax. I found the task reference section in Part III to be an added bonus." --Rob Friedman, Senior Unix Administrator, NS1.net
