I would definately recommend this book for anyone who is involved with the large-scale deployment and/or management of Unix systems.


The book is laid out in a very sensible format, and covers many of the essential Unix sysadmin tasks: networking, security, kernel configuration, just to name a few. With this being said, it's certainly not a book for the novice Unix user, nor is it really targetted towards such an audience.
