I'd be hesitant to use ad-hoc sources of information on the Internet unless I knew that information came from an authoritative source, such as from the engineer that worked on the product, or from someone that is a proven expert in the field. That presents a catch-22, because in order for me to judge the quality/correctness/scalability/gotchas of the content, I have to be familiar with the topic already. That is to say, there are a lot of sources of advice on the subject of Solaris out there, but very few of those sources present correct/clean/scalable solutions to tasks and/or problems.
