One of weaker O'Reilly's books
I wonder who the targeted reader of this book is:
Beginner will not find nearly enough technical information to learn
any of the tipics mentioned and book by no means can be used as
a shelf reference for more advanced user.
Cannot recommend it to anybody.

Uninformative, superficial, harmful!
This must be the worst O'Reilly book I have ever read and I have read atleast 20!The author reproduces much of the information from his other books "Solaris Complete Reference" which has much the same inforamtion as his "Solaris Administration -A Beginner's Guide".His coverage of important topics like E-mail consists of showing how to download sendmail through anonymous ftp.His discussion on the inetd super daemon consists of a three page listing of /etc/services file and so on.Incredible, really!I remember O'Reilly once withdrew a title on Beowulf Clusters stating that the quality was not upto reader expectations!I submit this as a definite candidate.

Overview without deep information
I'm quite disappointed from this O'Reilly book. I expected technical information for a professional system administrator but got a fast overview. The author tries to cover everything form networking to Java in just 300 pages.
