This Will Be Your System Administration BIBLE!
Buying this book new is a bit pricey. I bought a used copy and it was worth every penny. If you can't find it used, then spend the full price to buy it new. I can't imagine administering my FreeBSD server without this book. I had tried a couple other books that weren't nearly has useful as this one.

Great, but also get Essential System Administration
As an occasional Unix system administrator, I find that this is the book that I turn to the most. It is also quite readable and can be read front-to-back. However, Unix administration is a large enough topic that you should also get Essential System Administration by Aeleen Frisch (O'Reilly). There are some areas that this book covers more thoroughly, and some where Essential System Administration has the advantage. So get both.

Very Complete
I liked this book very much. I found the material to be complete and thorough. The only drawback is that coverage of specific platforms (4.4 BSD, Linux 2.x, etc...) quickly makes some of the material dated. Not a big problem because the vast majority of the book covers generic Unix that is cross-platform compatible. I think sticking to only *nix concepts would have made this a 5 star book. A new book is a little too pricey though so I purchased mine used.
