Other useful articles come from a guy by the name of Peter Baer Galvin (who writes a lot for SysAdmin.  His site is http://www.petergalvin.org/

SysAdmin usually has a Solaris (and AIX) supplement to their magazine.  November 2002 has the Solaris Supplement.... in fact: http://www.samag.com/solaris/

Subject: [MLUG] Solaris question

This is a generic question with regards to Solaris sysadminning.  Does
anyone have any books to recommend on administration of a Solaris system?
Particularly for a user coming from a Linux background?
Also, I'm open to any basic apps to look for.  I've already found the System
Management Console, but other suggested apps are welcome.  Further,
comparisons of Linux to Solaris would be appreciated.  I.E. Instead of
looking at /etc/fstab look at /etc/vfstab.

Anyways, I'm getting the feeling I'm going to be administering a nice new
Sun server for Oracle, and I need to know a bit about what I'm doing ;)
Currently I'm using standard commandline tools, but if Sun has a preferred
set of methods to do things, I'd really like to know what they are.

The SMC I've found to be rather clodgy.  I.E. I have a software raid5
partition on /dev/md/dsk/d9 but I had to mount it by hand - I couldnąt mount
it through the SMC.  I don't know if there are other tools I need to
install, configure, modules/snapins to install, etc.  Particularly, I'd like
to get gnome, openssh, and other common gnu utils installed, but don't know
if there is an easy way to accomplish this.

Thanks!
Jason McIntosh
