"Specific topics, but broad range - very useful" according to Francis C Irving. This book is a great book to have around to help solve some of the problems encountered day to day.

This is a great book for anyone who deals with multi-platform networks. I reach for it first every time I see a current or potential problem. 90% of the time I can just use this book instead of having to search through topic-specific manuals and references..

Chapters are organized to allow quick and easy access for reference. If you are a SysAdmin or if you are going to be one - Buy this Book!Theo
