 Beginner's Guide June 1, 2001

I was disappointed with this book - it's great for beginner's, but offers little information that was not self evident. I didn't want a book that stated the near obvious!

This is apparently the only book on OS X available at the moment. I find it particularly odd that every "five star" posting regarding this book is from an anonymous "reader." I actually haven't read the book, though I thumbed through it at the bookstore. It's mainly fluff, with a cursory introduction to Unix and the original Rhapsody-like OS X Server. Since so much will be different in the new OS X Server, one should probably hold off purchasing.

I was looking for a book that would be a guide to OSX Server since the information included with the software was thin at best. What I found was a text that took the little information that I found in the documentation and puffed it up to over 300 pages with not much more to offer. In all fairness I did pick up some information but it was not worth the price. I'll keep the book on the shelf but it will not be looked at often.
Good for complete beginners - Bad for anyone with experience December 22, 2000

A very light and fluffy book. 3/4s of the book is filler. We don't need another book with a chapter on the OSI model, and certainly don't need this much detail on installation and configuration - it's not that hard. Most of the book illustrates and describes rather then explaining why. Certainly there is little attention paid OS X's UNIX roots (expecially OS X Server). The last few chapters are useful if you are heavily invested in using NetBoot or Mac Manager. But even in these chapters there more attention paid to screenshots and descriptions of all the checkboxes then any serious advice or advances discussion.
Awful! November 12, 2000

This book is so far off topic, its ridiculous. If you have been using OS X Server for some time and want a reference, don't look here. First they include a primer on how ethernet packets work. Then they never get to the point, unless you want to use NetBoot. It is a fairly good intro if you don't want to actually use OS X. There is nothing about NFS, Apache, basic ftp with a terminal, nothing. I can't say how much I am disappointed. With shipping, it was $40 - down the drain!
