Unixware 7 System Administration

I found Unixware 7 a great rescource that supplemented the Admin.2 section of Sco-Unix training. The combination of both, including Admin.1 and intro (of course) will get you the Sco C.U.S.A. exam. The concepts covered in Unixware 7 give the foundation of understanding that is necessary for administration. The rest is direct hands on ! Good job !

This book was written to help system administrators with migrating to and maintaining UnixWare 7. We tested everything we wrote about, detailing the bugs and their workarounds. The book has been given out by SCO at dozens of briefings. A large number of SCO engineers participated in verifying the information and supplying many of the tips. The book was not written to give detailed coverage of ancillary areas such as TCP/IP and Shell Programming. Those are separate areas (for instance, do you want Bourne Shell, Korn Shell, C Shell, etc). We also did not cover UnixWare internals or device drivers. Other authors are planning books in those areas. Thank you for your interest in our book. Please email me if you have questions, comments or suggestions. Gene Henriksen

This is a must read book for Unixware Systems Administrators. From installation to advanced topics, this one covers it all. If you want to pass the Unix certification exam I highly suggest you add this one to your library. If only all other Unix books were like this one....

Technical information presented in laymen's terms. Great for Sys Admin's, software porting company's that are perparing for the 64 bit architecture IA-64 (merced). Provides good understanding of the operating system and how to get the most out of it. Recommend it for those taking the SCO Admin Course or ACE Certification.

So far the book has been easy to read and detailed in the areas needed to effectively administer a Unixware 7 box. However, I wonder if someone out there could tell me if this book is suffiecient to take the sys admin test from SCO.
