## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must be on the shelf
*by A***O on March 21, 2025*

I have this book in two versions, the first and the last.On those days, I was sysadmin in mission critical installations. And trust me, it worths each page!!This book Is good for many reasons.It is very clear, with code that works for many versions of OS.Also, it put focus on the different elements that a sysadmin should be focused.Not only for learning how to administrate the elements of IT infrastructure.It is also a reference manual.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple great. It tought me how to use Unix
*by A***O on December 4, 2024*

Great book. Of course it is not up to date. Nevertheless it teaches how to use Unix better than other more modern books. The chapter on the use of command pipes is wonderful and full of examples.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid second choice.
*by L***I on March 15, 2015*

I think the only reason I ultimately had to give this book a 4 star rating instead of a 5 star rating is just the date of the last publishing which is pushing on 13 years now. Most of the core areas of *nix administration are covered and each section goes into quite a bit of detail, but I've already found tools being used that have been outmoded by new tools available to the modern Linux user.But outside of that, and that's kind of a nitpick it's always good to learn the history and fundamentals in software, this book hits on the areas that you are most likely to run into in a system administrator position, and since it's not JUST about Unix,or Linux, but rather about * nix systems in general, it seems like a well rounded book. I like the fact that the chapters are organized into TASK areas, and then get into the details about how to do that task effectively and what's important about that task. It really speed things up if you have already outgrown your "first" Linux book (for beginners).You could go into this as a beginner, but I'd recommend "How Linux Works: What Every Superuser Should Know" if you just want to get a handle on what a modern Linux system is and you want to start from scratch.This books should probably be a second or third choice, but it's a solid buy and there is a TON of material here in those 1077 pages!Also, you may also want to check out 'Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook". I couldn't really say which is better, probably the latter, but I'm glad I have both because Linux is a HUGE subject and it's nice to have complementary material. I would say that this book really hits on the major areas of *nix administration in a logical easy to follow way. But on the other hand, the other title mentioned above goes into a ton of specific areas and covers a lot of newer tools and is more Linux focused.If I HAD to choose between this one or the "handbook" above, I'd go with the latter, but if you can afford it, get BOTH because they do approach different materials and in their own way.
