I found the book to be a great help. I also found another great book - I
beleive it's been called The Red Book. It's title is Unix System
Administration. It's absolutely brilliant, with insights into how Unix
really works, with a healthy dose of humour. It's written mainly by Evi
Nemeth if I remember correctly. Beg, borrow or steal, this book is worth
getting.
Hope this is useful,
- -Taff.
