This was a worthwhile purchase for me - handy size and lots of tips. Not advanced level, but very much a 'get it done' type book. Recommended.

It is a good book for DBAs coming from Non-Unix background. It gives the minimal unix support for the DBAs , but not complete, does not cover the tuning/trouble shooting part.
Highly recommended for Oracle on NT DBAs want to become Oracle on Unix DBA..But not for DBAs who are already running their oracle databases on Unix.
