Summary: Not a Complete Reference, but nice to have !
Comment: I bought this book because I wanted to supplement my preparation for the Solaris 8 certification exams. I already had sysadmin experience with versions 2.5, 2.6 and 7.
Solaris 8 - The Complete Reference is extremely readable and a good start for anyone who needs to look at the new Solaris version.
Pros
Good emphasis for PC based admins coming from an NT background, who need a grounding in Solaris and UNIX.
Very, very readable.
Cons
Not very much real information on the boot process
Not very much information on the security aspects of Solaris, just a few pages only.
Way too much detail on on subjects like FTP (16 pages), which everyone should know anyway.
Practically nothing on the use and setup of Jumpstart or diskless clients.
Not enough detail on the real Solaris features such as volume management, and set/getfacl and the Openboot process.
But overall.... I solidly recommend it to be on every small or big- time Solaris admins bookshelf.

Summary: Good solid Solaris reference
Comment: As an experienced Solaris and NT administrator, I have been waiting a long time for a book which covered all of the core Solaris material which I learned through experience. This book covers all of the material which makes Solaris distinct from other flavors of UNIX (like HP/UX and Linux). I like the way that the author has given examples of how to get things right (like a whole chapter each on SAMBA and NFS), and how to fix things that go wrong (like filesystem corruption - there are some great examples for using fsck). But I think there should have been more coverage of IPv6 and server clustering.

Summary: Very dissapointing
Comment: You can't cast this book in any category. It is not for beginners since almost nothing is explained, but rather is 'listed'. It is certainly not a "Reference" as its name implies since is missing tons of information. And it is not for a System Administrator. A total dissapointment. I gave 2 stars because you might get some information out of it...
