Decent book for begining Solaris Admins
This is a pretty decent book for begining Solaris Admins, BUT, it only covers up to Solaris 2.6. If you are administrating Solaris 7 or 8 I would look elsewhere or wait for the next edition.

Frustrating at times
This book can be really frustrating at times. Let's say that you're trying to get a Sun box on a network, and you forget to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf to specify dns lookup for hosts. You'll have a tough time with this book as your only reference - as far as I can tell this isn't discussed in this book at all. Why not?There are other examples. I often end up searching for additional information elsewhere. Your mileage may vary.

Absolute Perfection
Fantastic material! There's everything one needs to know/understand about Solaris, be it novice or exp. admins. I found this an invaluable tool for exam prep. also. Everything is detailed & explained giving live snapshots. The biggest asset is the pain author took in explaining materials. Chapters are well-organised and topics finely laid out. Great work. It's an investment.
