Summary: Excellent starting point for a small network
Comment: This book helps you to establish a small network with a SCO Unix server and a Win95 client. If you, like me, are coming from the windows side and want to learn something about Unix then a unix-windows network is a comfortable solution. With this book you receive an easy applied receipt about how to install such a configuration. I started with absolutly no knowledge about TCP/IP and networks and so this book helped me to save a lot of time.

Summary: Excellent pre-installation book but lacks some comparisons
Comment: The book was exceptionally valuable to me since it was written by two individuals experienced in the installation of SCO Unix. They spared me hours of time fumbling through an uneducated installation. Further suggestions on how to configure the installed system and get it properly networked with Windows 95 were very helpful too. The book's negatives are as follows. The title of the book suggests that SCO Openserver is THE "solution". Much of the text was written in a format suggesting that impartial analysis resulted in a determin- ation that SCO Unix was the ideal "network server" and Windows 95 was the ideal "network client". The statements may be factual, but I would have appreciated a greater look into why SCO was superior over other similar operating systems like Sun Microsystem's "Solaris" and Novell's Netware 4.x, (both of which also run on the PC). In fact, only Windows NT and Windows 95 were compared with SCO as contenders for the network operating system. What are SCO's strengths relative to their peers? In summary, it was a good purchase for me. The book is highly informative, easy to read, graphical, and humble. It is ideal for the administrator that has already chosen SCO for their network. However, others looking for a point-by-point comparison of SCO, Solaris, and Netware, you will be somewhat disappointed.
