so what should we do to get this cheat sheet goin? What would be the most important commands to put? and which config files are also significant and different for administering the system?
all this depends on what you need to find out. Perhaps it would help to start by asking what configuration files and commands are important on linux, and determining what their analogs are in Solaris.
Hmm, I was just checking out solaris cuz sun says its the most secure os.
Sun does have data (including certifications) to back up that claim.
But my real question is why people are leaving linux for a foreign environment like solaris.
Foreign ... to you :) People use Solaris for a variety of reasons, including scalability, robustness, adherence to published standards.... the list goes on.
It seems that there is somewhat less software available for solaris. (I don't mind paying for software if it's what I'm looking for, so there might be commercial apps for solaris that I haven't come across).
