Customer Reviews:

Just buy it!

I wanted to improve my knowledge reading just some of the chapters... Once I started reading it I couldn't skip any word.

If you are beginner interested in networking - buy it. If you are senior IT networking specialist - buy it!

Money invested in this book will pay you back.

Interesting read full of good advice

While not your typical techie book turns out it's packed full of no nonsense practical GOOD advice. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has ambition to become a sysadmin or IT manager.

I revert to it on a regular basis in my career when I need a pragmatic common sense view on how to plan/handle an infrastructure or IT service.

Somewhat dated on some topics but the quality of the material is more than worth the money.

If you understand the title, buy the book!

Don't read this review, just get the book and read it! It'll repay the time spent reading, 100x's over.

Not a technical book, but should be on every admin bookshelf

Not so much a technical how-to of system administration but rather a collection of insights and best practice tips around the processes of sys. admin gained from years of experience.

Great reading for any admin old or new.

Benefit from this insightful book

A great book - and yes, like other reviewers have said - they should teach this.

Reads like you in your pensioner years as an admin writing an account of 'do do' and 'don't do' and putting it in a time capsule Back to the Future style.

Non OS specific content is refreshing, as is their approach to explaining those things you have either witnessed yourself first hand, or alternatively now have that sinking sensation that you are a guilty admin, and need to take steps to address these Monday morning.

Insightful, and found while randomly Googling and ending up at the authors site.
