Hi, I've been a Unix sysadmin (SunOS 3.x, 4.x, Solaris, FreeBSD) for 15 years, but am now being forced to learn how to run a collection of XP boxes. Can anyone recommend a book which explains this confusing beast? I'm talking about a book which explains where things are put (equiv of /var/mail, /etc/passwd, /etc/rc.conf), where application data is stored, how printers, disks, etc are shared, how to book in "fixit disk" mode, how to backup/restore, how to configure swap space. And also questions like why XP is "professional", etc. I know it's a bit off topic, but I'm having a hard time figuring the system to what's what in XP. Thanks, Kent
