Very good overall book

I'm fairly new to Solaris/UNIX - about a year of dabbling with it. I've been awaiting the release of this book for quite a while (It was announced a year before release then was late). When it finally came in the mail the other day, I dove right into it. About halfway through, I'd say this is a pretty good book. It covers all the essentials that are built in to Solaris. I am reading it cover to cover and taking notes in a file. Although it doesn't cover complex 3rd party apps, like BIND, it does cover smaller 3rd party products, such as ssh. It does cover Solaris in and of itself pretty well and I am learning a lot. I'd recommend this as an addition to your library.
