No its the other systems that are different :-))

: Today I just picked a copy of Unix System Administrator's Companion.
: Michael R. Ault. ISBN 0-474-11144-9

Yes, a good book.  Another one that is very good id AEileen Frish - Essential
System Administration - O'Reilly ISBN 0-937175-80-3.  This one's benefit is
that it is written for most common UNIX's and so direct comparisons can be made.

Cheers
