Title: How, not why
Product review: This book might be useful if you just can't remember how to perform some administrative tasks - but it is very short on telling you why you would want to do them. I want more of the why, and I will figure out the how.I also want technical accuracy. I was surprised to learn (on page 439) that disk striping (RAID 0) provides protection from a single disk failure. This kind of error should not appear in a book of this nature - and there are many other similar examples.The book was written by 3 people, and at times it seems as if each one wrote one sentence of each paragraph. It sometimes jsut doesn't flow very well, which makes it harder to concentrate on what is being said.The book is not totally useless, but I have seen many other books that are, in my opionion, much more worth your time and money.
