Reader Reviews
Well for the person who stated that the command line syntax in this book is incorrect, is completely wrong for the fact that Solaris is pretty much Suns's version of unix. She is correct about them not working on Solaris though. This book is excellent and well indepth. If you are looking for a great place to begin your foundation on unix, this is it. But I would recommend using it on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, HP UX, and a few others, Solaris is not recommended Comment | | (Report this)
