Reader Reviews
I bought this book and read it for a good hour. After having just read the Solaris 8 version the week before, it's clear to me that the contents of this book were not adjusted for Solaris 9. For UNIX types, s/Solaris 8/Solaris 9/g pretty much sums it up. Even the typos from the previous edition are still there. I'm not familiar with Mr. Gibbs' other work, but in this case it appears that they brought him in to update the excellect Solaris 8 version of this book, which was originally written by a talented group of admins. Mr. Gibbs appears to have taken their money without doing any work in return. I returned this book and bought Ambro's Exam Cram 2 for Solaris 9, which is very condensed but accurate. For in-depth coverage, I'm still searching for a good book.
