Rating: Ok I bought the original publishing of 07.01 and I hated this book. It sat festering on my pile of blue ORAs and every day I cursed the 35USD I spent on it. I could not understand how I was supposed to wade through Windows. W2K, Mac and *nix administration scripts.... Then I got a job where all of those OSes were used interchangably. WOW! Now this book is tattered -- filled with newspaper scraps, napkins, french fries and whatever else I could find to bookmark pages. Absolutely indipensible. More useful than Programming Perl for me, Lou Moran Sys Admin! If you are a WIN Admin this book might be a bit much for you and possibly a book by Dave Roth might be a beter choice but if you are multi platform... good grief this is a GREAT BOOK. (Lou Has Spoken)
