Simply AIX 4.3
If you want to know why to Buy AIX 4.3, this book is for you. This book will give you all the reasons to buy AIX over other versions of UNIX or even other OS's. It is an AIX salesman's Bible. If you want to know anything about using AIX stay away from this book. No Useful information about Installing, Configuring, Using, or Administering AIX will be forthcoming. The Authors took the approach that AIX will take care of everything for you so you don't need to know anything, in which case you don't need this book. "the AIX Survival Guide" has been a much better reference for AIX. I purchased this book because it directly referenced version 4.3, which I am using, and thought it would be of the most use. It's Contents mentioned several things that weren't around when many of other AIX Books were written. 64Bit Systems and, Y2K to mention a few. All you really learn is that AIX handles these things, which would be assumed for any modern OS. If work hadn't paid for this book I would have returned it.

If you know anything about Unix you will be disappointed.
This is a very simplistic book containing mostly pictures of the SMIT GUI, and pointers to other resources on AIX. Every third sentence has a "cute" remark and an explanation point. I read it in about 25 minutes and will be returning it. In no way will this book enlighten you on AIX or systems administration.
