It talks about 10.4 Tiger
Half of the book talks about the Network
Little on the Shell line commands ...
The first part talks about accounts and file system also, how to install Man OS X 10.4 and it talks about classic and involve practical practice and few questions with each chapter ...
I droped one star because there is no CD for practice the exam and it talks about tiger and now the new version is Leopard 10.5. Anyway it is a good book.

The book is very well written with clear explanations, and detailed lessons. Because you read about it and then go through an excersize, you retain the information better. I would recommend this book because it really does almost feel like you are in a class when you are reading.

I needed this book to study for my Apple Certs, and found it to be very concise and all of the sections were explained well. It was more of a review for me, but once in a while, I found a tidbit of information that I did not know. I was kind of exciting finding little "secrets" about an OS that I have been working with and developing on for years.
I recommend this book if you are looking to study on your own or if you just need, or want, more insight into the way Mac OS X works. The information is fairly complete and when it is not exhaustive, I found that the authors had placed direct URLs to many of the great resource web sites.
