Hi,

Can anyone recomend any good 'start-off' websites for someone new to pick up Sun?

Thanks

If you want to do system administration work, I recommend formal training. There are instructor led courses, CDRom courses and Web based courses. The instructor let courses are the best because the instructor can answer your questions. But, they are pretty expensive.

You could do worse than

Also:

And don't forget to post back here if there's anything specific you need. Good luck.

Hi KyoAD,

Here are a few of the ones I have found useful:

For the main Sun website:

http://www.sun.com/index.html

For Solaris documentation:

http://docs.sun.com

For the Sun system handbook:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub

For Solaris Sys Admin and Patch downloads:

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin

For useful Admin Tools and other "free" software:

http://sunfreeware.com

For help on specific Sun or Solaris problems:
use the search facility on this website
or
use Google search: solaris + "<keywords>"

For a comparison of Solaris to other flavours of UNIX:

I hope that helps.
