What books are available on Solaris x86?

For Unix system administration in general, I like

Unix System Administration Handbook, 3d ed.
by Evi Nemeth, Garth Snyder, Scott Seebass, and Trent R. Hein
(Prentice Hall, 1995), ISBN 0-13-020601-7

http://sun.drydog.com/bookstore/#0131510517


Ron Ledesma has written

PC Hardware Configuration Guide for DOS and Solaris
(SunSoft Press, 1994), ISBN 0-13-124678-X,

http://sun.drydog.com/bookstore/#013124678x.
It's a well-written, but dated, book on setting up Solaris x86 on
Intel Architecture.


There's also

Solaris 2.X for Managers and Administrators
by Curt Freeland, Dwight McKay, Kent Parkinson, 2d ed. (1997),
ISBN: 1-56690-150-2,

http://sun.drydog.com/bookstore/#1566901502


The following two books by Janice Winsor
cover Solaris 2.6 for SPARC and x86. They are
from Sun Microsystems/Macmillan Technical Publishing. I find they cover
the subject matter too lightly, but they may be good for beginners:

Solaris System Administrator's Guide, 2d ed. (1998),
ISBN 1-57870-040-X,

http://sun.drydog.com/bookstore/#157870040x,
and

Solaris Advanced System Administrator's Guide,
2d ed., ISBN 1-57870-039-6,

http://sun.drydog.com/bookstore/#1578700396,


Other books are available on Solaris in general from SunSoft Books and on
UNIX (with sections on Solaris) from O'Reilly and Associates. Hardcopies of
Sun manuals are available as SunDocs from SunExpress.


<BLATANT COMMERCIAL>

Please visit my on-line bookstore,
http://sun.drydog.com/bookstore/,
in association with Amazon.com,
where you can order books on Solaris or any other topic.
I get paid a few percent of most books ordered there.
