Description
This guide covers a wide range of issues for the new administrative user of the Solaris program, looking at the user, resources, the server and network management. There are real world examples of configuration files and the installation of third-party software packages, without the assumption that the reader is a "Solaris guru". Eight pages of blueprints cover administration differences between Solaris and Linux, and Solaris and Windows 2000.
