Product: UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook

As an intermediate level Linux person, I find this book to Very good and informative. It exposed me to new ideas that I should know. It is not however, 100% comprehensive on certain subjects, which is why I didn’t give it five stars. For example, in the chapter discussing startup and shutdown, it goes into a discussion of rc.d symbolic links to init.d services and it talks about the S## and K## prefixes, which it covers well; but it fails to go in-depth about runlevels and which ones are used on each platform for reboot, startup, shutdown, etc. Still the book is pretty darn good. If it were possible, I would accurately give it 4.5 stars.
