Solaris 10 : the complete reference
Paul Watters, Sriranga Veeraraghavan · 2000
From the Book: It's been an incredible journey for Sun Microsystems and its flagship operating system, Solaris. Sun released the first version of Solaris, based on a port of System V, release 4, in the early '90s and has built it into a truly world-class application platform, scaling from PCs to clusters of 64-way E10000s. Solaris was the first true assault on the glass-house mainframe world of proprietary architectures and astronomical prices. Every version has offered incremental improvements that keep Sun one step ahead of the competition-things like 64-bit processing, the journaling file system, great Java support, and network integration that is built in from the ground up. And this is where this book comes in. Solaris 8: The Complete Reference guides you through the rich functionality of Solaris with real-world examples and techniques for getting the most out of your Solaris machines. There's enough here to satisfy everyone, from the Solaris experts needing a reference to beginners looking for a guide to tackling this powerful, complex operating system. Spanning all the core areas of Solaris, Solaris 8: The Complete Reference is an indispensable tool for both administrators and users. -Garrett Suhm Editor, Inside Solaris
