does anyone have any reccomended websites for Solaris information for beginners, apart from the sun website. Useful info would include tutorials/cmd line ref's.

 

If you've got a spare system, insert cdrom, install and play Thats how I learnt anyway.

http://www.samag.com/ <--- can be useful (very)
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/ (that part of Sun website)

Im sure other people will throw up useful links as well. Basically if you have any questions, post em' here, Im sure people will be HTH.

The only thing to remember is there are sometimes various ways of doing things, and people can have VERY STRONG feelings on how THEY do it, and how THEIR way is right. Find the way that is right for you.

 

Only those with little experience get on their advocacy horse There are a few Solaris/*nix boys in here, if you get any trouble just post.

Steve.

 

Yup thats right Steve - they tend to disagree cos they don't understand the alternatives..

As Steve says, we'll help if we can...

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin has some useful links under the resources section...

I dont claim to know anywhere near it all, but if you post up a question and i can help i will.

I am from the dark side of Solaris (according to krankyd), Fujitsu Siemens Primepower

 

cheers guys, yeah its a big re-education for me coming from a Windows/Cisco background. I've avoided this area for as long as i can but have no choice but to learn.

 

don't forget the source for all extra's you're gonna need ..

SunFreeware . SSH2 packages and GCC 3.1 at the very least.
