Reader Reviews
This is a good book for pepple new to Solaris. It covers command line basics, CDE X Windows, Star Office, and some basic GUI (menu)-based system administration and security. Each topic is well-explained with clear examples, such as setting up secure shell (SSH). There's several tips and solutions for various problems, such as problems configuring name services (DNS). However, this book is not for in-depth Solaris system administration. Also, if you have UNIX/Linux experience, a lot of the material will be repeative. Comment | | (Report this)
