Learning Solaris
By Adrian Sutton
I’ve brought home one of the SunBlade 100s from work with the intent of installing Solaris 10 on it and trying to get a grip on the idiosyncrasies of Solaris. Eventually I hope to be able to put the e250 we have at work to better use and learn enough to actually admin it properly instead of just doing the very minimum possible to get things to work.
Being a programmer by trade, picking up sysadmin skills isn’t exactly the easiest thing in the world so it will be a bit of a journey. Fortunately I have a basic working knowledge of UNIX and only a few fairly straight forward things to get up and running on the machine.
So, any tips on where to start and sources of knowledge I should be perusing?
