Book Description
This book is designed for the beginning level UNIX Systems Administrator. The UNIX Operating System is forever growing and expanding, and finding a book without all the technical in-depth jargon, for the beginner in UNIX Systems Administration, does not seem to be out there. So I took it upon myself, for that very reason, to write a "Quick Start with UNIX Systems Administration" book. I wish a book like this existed when I was learning to be UNIX Administrator.

This book covers:

· Introduction to UNIX Systems Administration
· Installing UNIX Operating System (Solaris)
· The UNIX File System
· UNIX Devices
· The "vi" Editor Basics
· Basic Shell Commands
· User Accounts
· NFS (Network File System) Basics
· DNS (Domain Name Service) Basics
· UNIX Printing
· File Systems Backup (Basics)

About The Author
Michael J. Williams is been in the IT field for 22 years and has been working as a UNIX Systems Administrator for over 19 years. Mr. Williams as spent most of his career working as a Consultant for many Fortune 500 companies, such as, Lucent Bell Labs, McGraw-Hill, Nationwide Insurance, Borden Companies and many others. Mr. Williams started working with UNIX in 1984 at Bell Labs, at which time he decided, after working with other operating systems, that UNIX was that operating system of the future. UNIX, even at that time, had functions and features that other OSs did not posses. At that point he decided to direct his career in the direction of the UNIX environment. He said, the UNIX environment is ever changing and new tools and applications are always being developed to support the growing requirements of the user community.
