2008-01-29 Bargepole Alert (if only I could give a negative number of stars )

Perhaps that'd be a black hole!


Don't touch it, not even with a bargepole.

This book is _awful_ . It has nothing useful. It has errors, inconsistencies, and introduces concepts without explaining them .

As an example, talking of device named, the author says how useful they are, and that you can get lots of info about the device from them , then gives an example, which he explains incompletely.

Then there's permissions, which he just gets wrong! How can you get something so basic wrong?

Awful, awful, awful. Clearly rushed out to be "first in the marketplace". As others have said, contains nothing about Solaris 10.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. I could go on and on.
