This is the only book I used to study for the exams. In the few areas where the book was weak on a topic, I sought additional information or clarification from articles I found on the Web. There are a few typos here and there, but nothing major. Overall, a good book.
Of course, the best testament to the thoroughness of the book for covering exam objectives is this: I can now add the letters 'SCSA' after my name. Thank you, Mr. Calkins.

Wow! I'm an intermediate Solaris Sys Admin. I used to be an SGI SA, but alas... not much call for that any more. I took the Sys Admin I and II classes at Sun to make it easier to switch to Solaris Admin. This book, at least as far as I've gotten so far, has so much more of the wonderful little details that help sys admins *really* understand what's happening on a system. Though I bought it in order to take the certification test, it's the Solaris 9 Sys Admin book I was looking for when I bought a whole bunch of other less than stellar Solaris books. Every Solaris SA should have this on their bookshelf.

I am in an intermediate class as we speak and so have the intermediate class notes. This is most likely all the training I can afford or my company can afford for now. I want to pass the
14 and 15 exams next year.
My instructor Mr. Menendez recommended I get an Ultra 60 as a study machine. So after my other studies will try to get pass these exams next year. After reviewing the other books, will buy this one. I have class notes for ess and intermediate so I am ready. SO armed with this book and exam cram, some good practice questions, away I go. An Ultra 60 is about $400. I plan to be a beginner Sun administrator.
So sometime in 2006 after I pass (or not pass :)) these exams will come back and update my review.
*******************
Well its April 2006, goals change. I still have the training. Must be getting old. So they sent me to it but not sure for NOW about doing Sun adm cert. So my review can not speak for the book.

I passed the first of two tests - this book helped, not my only source

I passed the first of two tests. Now studying for the second test. I did not use this as my sole source for study (I ALWAYS use more than one source for my certifications and recommend this highly).
I found this book quite helpful - I read the preface/suggestions it offfered for study and used that format for this book.
The questions were helpful to me in identifing weak areas I needed to re-read. I liked the detail and background it went into - including how he included material that he (believed) not to be on the test, yet important enough for a system administrator to know.
I liked the author's style of writing, and found it was not boring or laborous to digest. I would recommend it to others and am using it as one of several sources as I prepare for the second half of the exam.

This book helped me to clear 310-014. Now I am preparing for 015. I have seen Solaris Certification books without Printer portion. But this one covers all the areas and will be worth for you.
