Summary: Great Book!
Comment: This booked has helped me get started with HP-UX 11i. I've never seen the HP 9000 boot process documented until I read chapter one of this book. I was able to load and configure 11i using this book. All of the kernel parameters for 11i are documented, I've never seen much on HP-UX kernel parameters before. There are bonuses to this book such as the manual pages for many commands so I didn't have to look at man pages online, which I hate. There's also a vi tear out card and trial performance software in the book. In addition to HP-UX material there is a UNIX section and a Windows and UNIX interoperability section. There is a lot to this book beyond the 11i material that I've used. This is the most complete guide for any UNIX variant that I've ever seen.

Summary: Too plain
Comment: Hmmm I am not so sure this is a good buy. Half the book looks like man pages .. not good at all. I have had some use for the book, but I expected more. Keep looking for a book unless you're desperate.

Summary: Outstanding Lab Manual
Comment: I got this book along with Rehman's in order to study for the HP-UX certification exam. At first I wasn't too impressed with this title, as it seemed overly verbose and a good bit of the book seemed to be mere man page runoffs. But as I read through it, I saw that it was actually a very helpful workbook, which served me as a sort of lab manual to the Rehman's book. The book was overly verbose and repetitive in some places and that is a big minus, but all the same, the authors do give many, many examples, which makes it easy to see how to use each of the important commands on HP-UX. A separate chapter is given to each topic and this allows the book to go into much more detail for important items such as sed, awk, vi and the Korn shell than other books. (I have also noticed that things like this often come in handy quite often, even though it may not seem time well spent initially.) The man pages are included in the book not just to have printouts of them, but to be READ! So many users could benefit a lot from having read these admittedly dull instructions. The various ways you can use the commands will go a long way towards making a power user out of you and in turn, giving you a good idea of how HP-UX actually works. the book really does emphasise that. This is a manual on system administration, however, and is not merely a study guide and to get the proper benefit from it, rather than trying to "cram" it, one should spend about a year with an HP-UX server and this book to get really familiar with the system and to absorb all of the quirks of HP-UX to the fullest. There are a few typos, but those are pretty obvious. All in all, a very good guide.
