Sun about to release “Mad Hatter”
The Mad Hatter project at Sun should prove to be a real boon to Solaris users worldwide, particularly those who hate the transition from Windows or Macs to the more bare-bones CDE environment. Yes, I talk at length in Solaris 9 for Dummies about the transition from CDE to GNOME as a desktop environment for Solaris, but the Mad Hatter project definitely goes further than just a standard GNOME configuration.
PPPD question for Solaris
A Solaris 9 for Dummies reader asks the following question:
“I just read your book and was sad to see that you didn’t cover PPPD in too much depth. I read the links from SUN that you offered and didn’t find that much useful for my needs. Do you have PPPD experience? I have DSL but want to use my Sparc 5 for dial-up only just to play around on my web server. I am having a problem with the pap-secrets file and wondered if you had experience with that too?”
“Solaris 9 for Dummies” is out!
I’m very pleased to say that my newest book, Solaris 9 for Dummies is out, and the copies I have look really great.
Teach Yourself Unix System Administration in 24 Hours

Teach Yourself Unix System Administration in 24 Hours from Sams/Macmillan is my latest published book. Not only is this a sequel to my best-selling Teach Yourself Unix in 24 Hours but rather than focus on a single OS, the SysAdmin book simultaneously documents Red Hat Linux, Solaris 8, and the popular Mac OS X system.
