This comprehensive guide describes the new implementation of the UNIX operating system. The book's 15-minute hands-on lessons provide readers with a quick start with Solaris 2 and all of its DeskSet applications. Readers learn how to log on, use electronic mail, handle the text editor, networking and much more. The book assumes some computer experience but not necessarily UNIX. The treatment of this topic is similar to the "DOS Inside and Out" book. The book opens with the basics of Solaris and explains how to use the Open Look interface. It then covers the DeskSet applications (a set of productivity tools), and advanced topics like communications. Subsequent chapters cover systems administration, security, and networking.
