Customer Review: This is in my opinion the best UNIX reference book on the market today. If you need to program or work in the OS you should own this book.
Customer Review: Good Book if you have to live in a multiple OS environment. If you don't get the solution at least you know what to do next.

Without this book I would have been troubleshooting this issue for days. I feel the book has paid for itself. However, I wouldn't consider this "The... more info
Customer Review: Darryl Gove does an excellent job of covering approaches
to performance analysis and improvement. In addition,
