Hi All,

One more time (!). I have started a contract job and am looking for any online tutorials for AIX, 5 or 5L, just an overview to brush up on system administration, security, networking, etc. with the newer and Linux linked versions.

Several people on the web have indicated in other forums that Gary Hook (IBM VIP) has a very good AIX/Unix System administration tutorial but nobody ever gives any links. I have searched through Google to no avail.

Does anyone know where to find this? And if not, any other recommendations for AIX? Thanks!
