Summary: Solaris 8 not a good guide
Comment: This book ,although it follows the Sun Solaris Study guide is not very helpful in real terms , also the test on the cd-ROM is less than helpful if you think it is going to give you a feel for the real exam forget it. The type of questions asked are not searching enough to make one think hard enough. My advice to anyone thinking of taking the exam is to stick to an official Sun Microsystem training manual and learn everything , literally. The exam is not at all difficult just tricky in part , and so if you knew the subject well enough you will pass.

Summary: Good text for a Solaris Sys Admin course
Comment: I have been looking for a textbook that I can use to teach a course in Solaris system administration and I have finally found it. I like this book because: 1. It is readable. Let's face it, UNIX texts are not fascinating reading, but this one holds my interest better than others I have reviewed including Sun's books that come with their exam preparatory courses. 2. It is comprehensive. It does not just concentrate on being an exam cram for the certification exams. The information presented explains why things work the way they do. 3. It has great support. The CD that comes with this book contains a summary of each chapter and a practice exam which provides feedback after each question that lets you know why each possible choice was either correct or incorrect. I have not taken the full practice exams that come on the CD, but I retaken the practice exams on the dullest chapters after multiple hour intervals and aced them thanks to the feedback system.
If you want to skate through the exams there are other sources that can help you do this, but if you want to learn UNIX system administration and study for the exam, this is an excellent book.

Summary: This is the only book you'll need.
Comment: I felt the book was very well written and to the point (which is to get you certified). I had a couple of years of medium-user experience when I bought the book, got myself an intel box and loaded Solaris into it, couple of weeks later....voila!
I would like to stress though that even though this is a great book to get certified with, it is an invaluable resource as a reference book. The material is so clear, and applicable in real life situations that you surely get your money's worth pre and post exam.
