A beginner book... Not a "black" book...
I was looking at a great reference book to go far inside MacOS X....
NetInfo is talked about only half a page !
I just have it on my library and will never open it again... :-/

Not for Power Users
I find the book informative and well written, but this is not for power users. It contains beginner information and how to use popular 3rd party utilities. The book lacks depth, and Unix shell is in an appendix. If you are looking for a book to explore the unix side of Mac OS X, look elsewhere. If you are looking on how to set up your user environment and are looking for some possible shareware or 3rd party utilities to enhance your use of OS X, then this is for you.

This book is targeted to the wrong audience. It is an intermediate book. I say skip it.

Buy Mac OS X Unleashed

Mac OS X Version 10.1 Black Book
This is a good book for any user of Mac OS X. It can be very basic in its instructions and descriptions, but can also prove to be a good reference book for the more advanced user. It you are a complete UNIX nerd, skip it and buy a UNIX specific book. This book should answer many of your OS X questions.
