I definitely agreeSmilieSmilie, but sometimes when I look something up in a book I stumble upon some other useful piece of information that comes in handy at a later date...

It's a few years old now, but I found, 'AIX 5L Administration' by Randal K. Michael to be a decent book.

I must disagree!

The internet is a great 'reference' tool, but it's hard to beat a good book if you want to orient yourself to a completely new topic. The career of the author and the reputation of the publisher back up the correctness of the information in a book and a good book should have a clear scope. Which means you should be able to read the synopsis/introduction and have an idea of the topic(s) you will have covered and the depth of knowledge you will have obtained after you've read it through, page-by-page.

It's more difficult to do this on the internet.
