Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐”Solaris for Dummies” is well-named – only a dummy would pay for the useless book. It doesn’t even address installation or setup, and is likewise silent on critical matters like printing. Upon contact, the author admitted only casual and dated exposure to Solaris, and offered zero help in activating my printer. His casual style assumes ‘way too much user knowledge as a prerequisite.The neophyte will emerge still a neophyte when he wades thru this book. We need something that starts at Square One (Installation)and proceeds slowly thru setup and usage (like as in printing).

⭐The Dummy books are always entertaining, but for a Solaris novice it doesn’t give much relational reference to other systems which you may be more familiar with. I always look for these books to give comparisons to more popular systems such as DOS or Windows since they are the most popular and well known by none professionals. It would make conceptual understanding a bit easier. This one presupposes a higher level of UNIX knowledge than I had, so it didn’t help much.

⭐This guy claimed to ship via media mail. I am not sure anything takes this long to get sent by mail.Unless they are using Pony Express. This guy is a scammer and a rip off artist. Dont trust a deadbeat seller like him

⭐This is a good book for pepple new to Solaris. It covers command line basics, CDE X Windows, Star Office, and some basic GUI (menu)-based system administration and security.Each topic is well-explained with clear examples, such as setting up secure shell (SSH). There’s several tips and solutions for various problems, such as problems configuring name services (DNS).However, this book is not for in-depth Solaris system administration. Also, if you have UNIX/Linux experience, a lot of the material will be repeative.

⭐While having some classroom experience with Solaris I would not consider myself experienced with it at all. So with having a big Solaris implementation ahead, I needed a good read on Solaris to get me up to speed & figure out where I was heading. This was a good book to start out with, balanced between someone who would use Solaris on a day to day basis (end user wise) and between someone who would be the sys admin of a Solaris box. It covered many topics lightly, but that is the nature of the book (and the Dummies series). This title was what I was hoping for. Certainly a good book to get you up to speed quickly; and now I have a page of notes to research and get smarter on.

⭐Good price and fast ship.

⭐A good basic reference to get you started in the world of Solaris. The book is easy to understand and use.
