Although most specific examples used in the work deal with UNIX, there aren't really any tips or directions for particular administrative tasks, so this could be a decent guide for any platform. There are chapters dealing with software, hardware, physical plant, security, administrative skills, personal skills, and the administrator's career. The chapter on networking is quite weak, really only giving you the jargon to talk about it. copyright Robert M.
