This is a very good, but not great, book about systems administration. What I really liked was the hands-on approach for describing administrative processes the book's author uses. Although for a third-edition, there were too many bugs in it that interrupted my reading flow, so I can only rate it 'good'. (Yes, I found and submitted 10 new bugs that I hope won't bother anyone else in future releases.)
