Awesome! [Posted on 2004-10-11]
I agree with some of the worse reviews: This book addresses all the touchy-feely stuff not found in other manuals.

That, however, is what it's for (It's plainly stated on the book! Read the friendly Meta-Manual!) and it is in fact a wonderfully lucidly written cornucopia of information in that field. It also is delightfully platform-independent, even if it is perceivable that the authors have a UNIX background (but which Sysad doesn't?).

It's a simple fact that Sysads get other things wrong more often than the tech stuff: Communicating changes, seeing it all from the user's POV, negotiating (yes, they deal with salary, too), saying "yes" so that it isn't understood as "yes to all"; saying "no" so that it isn't understood as "fsck you!".

That's why we're often hated as arrogant BOfHs. This manual endeavours to fix that, and it just might succeed.

The Practice of System and Network Administration shows you how to become a great SA.

This is no 'for dummies' book.

The Practice of System and Network Administration is a great guide.

It's a top pick  [Posted on 2007-09-07]
The first edition of PRACTICE OF SYSTEM AND NETWORK ADMINISTRATION covers modern IT methodology, and this updated second edition provides a revision of four major areas of knowledge relating to system administration, reviewing key elements of successful network systems, how to build and run reliable services, building data centers and addressing security issues, and more. It's a top pick for any library serious about catering to advanced web programmers, computer professionals, and students of network administration - as well as for practicing administrators.

One of the best books ever written for systems/ICT administration [Posted on 2008-02-20]
Every systems/ICT administrator must have a read at this book as I have not come across any similar book in its category. The authors attempt to be vendor neutral as much as possible and provide best practices from their professional expertise. I can definitely say that I have improved my efficiency in my role as ICT administrator after reading this book. Cheers.

El servicio fue excelente, y el libro es muy bueno para lo que estoy estudiando, a parte de que es el libro escogido para la clase que cojo.
