A well written and complete text

Simply put, this book is both an excellent read and a very good reference text. This is a quality textbook.The author has done a fine job of covering an exceptional amount of material in a complete and detailed fashion. The flow of the book is good and the page layout is very well done. (I have some books that are borderline unreadable in this regard, so now I pay attention to that aspect much more closely...)Once you have gone through this book once, you will appreciate the detailed index it has for using this book as a reference. ( The index is just shy of 100 pages...) If you are looking for one text, which covers a lot of ground and covers it well, this is really worth looking at. I am in the process of choosing a text for some internal training, and this is hands-down the one. Good job.

One of the BEST and DETAILED books on UNIX!

This book is, for me, one of the best books I have read on UNIX. This book gives you a very nice & easy start with this old, but powerfull operating system. However, once you finished this book, you will master UNIX in most (if not all) aspects. Because this book covers UNIX in all aspects, including system admisnistrating, all in such a great detail.Buy this one, if you have to live with UNIX or want to understand UNIX. You have no better choice than this one!

The best book on UNIX so far...

If you don't want to get lost in the complex but powerful UNIX operating system, buy this book immediately. Covering topics such as how many partitions you should have to file and directory structure to Perl programming, "Unix Unleashed" explains in a technical yet clear manner the intricacies of this OS. You're a Linux user and you are wondering wether you should buy "Unix Unleashed" or not? Stop wondering and get out your cash. The mythical "UNIX guru" status will be within your reach after reading this masterpiece.

A Must For Every Unix Users!

I have went through lots of books on unix/linux and dissapointed by the contents of the books, mostly, but as a serius unix user, I would recommend this book to you all. It does cover all topic that you can think of, and the authors of this book are well-respected people in unix community.

A must have book for all levels of people

This book is definitely the best computer book that I've ever read. Bar none. Not only is it the best computer book, but it is by far the best Unix book out there. It covers every aspect of administering and maintaining a Unix machine. I'm 17 years old and run Solaris 7 and Linux on my computer at home and this book is an indispensable reference. Definitely worth the money!
