Oh, c'mon: you left out the single coolest thing about the book. According to its Foreward, "The initial draft of the first edition of this book was called 'UNIX System Administration Made Difficult', which seemed appropriate: the '... Made Simple' style of books always seemed to gloss over so many details that they actually made the job harder." Also, unless I'm mistaken (which I'm certain could never happen), I believe the newest edition has a section or two which are Linux-specific; might be very helpful to see what they have to say. So, in summary, I concur with Paul: a definite "two thumbs up" on "The UNIX System Admistrator Handbook". -Ken ********************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **********************************************************
