Title: A book that EVERY sysadmin (UNIX or otherwise) must read
Review: Garfinkel, et. al. have created a masterpiece, by culling the best of the UNIX haters newsgroup and weaving the collection into one cohesive volume.As a certified SUN OS administrator and former UNIX network manager, this book crystallizes for me the reasons why (like all things painful) I stopped.It is chock full of precise examples and loaded with anectodes that back up their technical arguments against all things UNIX.However, it is (most importantly) a well written and very entertaining book. I read it three times with the same enjoyment each time.I laughed until I cried. When I was done, I laughed some more just remembering it.This is for me (quite literally) on my book shelf with three or four all-time favorite books.
