Mac OS X now operates on a UNIX engine. As such it is much more powerful than previous operating systems.

Review:
This comprehensive guide to Windows NT Server is both a manual for the operating system's features and an implementation tool for real-world use. In this sixth edition, author Mark Minasi builds on an already mature work by adding numerous new topics.

Book description
Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4 is a major platform for the Internet as well as corporate networks. And when it comes to roll-out and support issues surrounding this powerful OS, there's nothing that matches the multi-volume MICROSOFT WINDOWS NT SERVER RESOURCE KIT. In the kit you you'll find the Reference Guide and the Networking Guide, each in separate volumes of at least 1000 pages. Overflow information from each volume will appear in a third volume. This kit offers technical and performance information and tools available nowhere else, and is certain to be a valued resource. It's been a big seller in earlier editions and Microsoft Press will be aggressively pushing this edition as well. Because Microsoft Windows NT Server is a "ba...
