Very useful and accessible.
This books does not provide the complete coverage but there is no book that possibly could. UNIX administration is notoriously difficult and sophisticated because one has to understand many things in their complexity. If you found yourself struggling and having a difficulty with reading this one it means you need more background with UNIX to deal with administration. I found here on Amazon "UNIX Essentials" DVD that is complete UNIX course recorded and it can bring you to the point you will be able to work with book like that.
It is very well written book and it is very important! I had some books on UNIX administration that I simply gave up! This one is easy to read and it makes many things simpler and it is good thing. I use this one as a cross reference volume.
The very best UNIX System Administration book.
It covers all the important topics and concepts, and has detailed examples for everything the author discusses. I have seem many different UNIX SA books, but this one is the very best. This book is very easy to read and follow.
Not an encyclopedia, but it is handy! 
Who wants to wade through MAN pages for hours? The whole reason I buy books is to compile the information in one handy place. I'm not sure what the 1-star reviewer's problem is. This is a useful source to fill in general holes in your knowledge. If you already know this stuff cold, I'm not sure why you'd be interested in the book at all (either to praise or pan. ) Bottom line: good, general book for those who want to bootstrap themselves.
