This is the best contemporary book on UNIX that I've read in a good while. There are so many books out there that concentrate on filling up endless pages of fluff with strange reworkings of UUCP and other historical beasts. This book has a good focus on Sun's (not necessarily UNIX's) strategic direction in terms of ONE and e-business. I know a lot of people don't agree with this, but unless you're a Wall St. pension fund analyst with Scott's phone number, you're not going to change Sun's thinking. I enjoyed the material on data management and modeling (rare in an OS book). I like the step-by-step approach of starting with systems and building networks. This could be greatly expanded (I would like to see a longer book).
