It's like an old book. I was waiting for more on Solaris 10.
 Great book for New or Old System Administrators June 8, 2006

The breadth and depth of knowledge in this book is amazing.
I've been a unix admin for 12 years and bought the first edition
quite some time ago. It still sits within reach and I often
carry it back and forth to work as it's that useful. I highly
recommend this book for those who like a practical hands-on
approach. If you are looking at if for one thing you're
interested in (jumpstart for example), buy it. The other
topics in there are so well written that they will perk your
interest. If you really want to get into the nuts and bolts
of say, jumpstart, just download the free pdf's from sun's
site (sun has several pdf's of 300-700 pages on jumpstart alone).
Uh wow: Written by an true experienced solaris admin October 19, 2005

This book is amazing as its not a rehash of points you need to know about to pass the Solaris Certified Sys Admin exam. Instead this is a true to life list of common issues/solutions a REAL sys admin would face in day to day work. The basics of hardware is fantastic and I wish I had this info at the start of my career. Webflash/jumpstart.. fantastic and now part of my server environment. NIS ... fantastic...... DYnAMIC RECONFIGURATION! VOLUME MANAGEMENT!!! This is a True System Adminstrator's Book. Note this won't help you pass to SCSA as if you need to read up on the format of the /etc/passwd file then this book is not for you.
If you are interviewing for a Solaris admin job... get this book!!! Forget any of the exam cram or study guides for the SCSA as its all BS.
A+!!!!

I think the second edition of the book is fine, except for a couple of errors in the script examples. Although the errors seem trivial there should be an errata published on Wiley's website showing the corrections.
Great Book for Solaris Beginners August 1, 2005

This is a very good book for people who know other flavors of Unix and is just starting to work on Solaris. The authors give good examples and real applications and time saving tips so you don't have to waste your time since they already went through that experience !!!
