Preface

Welcome to the second edition of Solaris Internals and its companion volume, Solaris Performance and Tools. It has been almost five years since the release of the first edition, during which time we have had the opportunity to communicate with a great many Solaris users, software developers, system administrators, database administrators, performance analysts, and even the occasional kernel hacker.

We look forward to continued communication with the Solaris community.
