I am also new to Solaris. Since you have 5 years of experience using Linux/Unix systems, the learning step should not very steep or difficult for you. In fact, I found that the installation of Solaris 10 is much more user friendly and easy compared to FreeBSD or a Linux distro. The migration from Linux to Solaris can be compared to changing your soft drink from Pepsi to Coke!! > 1. What can I do with SOLARIS? You can do almost anything with Solaris which a Linux/Unix distribution can do. Probably even better with Solaris. > 2. Solaris and unix are very similar?, have the same aim? Since Solaris is derived from Unix, yes, Solaris is Unix and Unix is Solaris. Regarding the aim, every operating system has the same goal. Run as stable as possible and produce the best results. > 3. Solaris is for server? or for Desktop ? or are for both things. Probably both. But I think Solaris is stronger on the server platform. > 4. in this pages I find several link for download programs: > http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/; From Wikipedia: OpenSolaris is an open source project created by Sun Microsystems to build a developer community around Solaris Operating System technology. Check it out yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSolaris > but I don't know wich I can dowmload for install and give services as > server. I am just a starter in Solaris myself and I don't know much about Solaris myself. From my current understanding: (1.) For serious server stuff, I think Solaris 10 Operating System is fit for you. (Free Solaris 10 8/07 download) http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp#download (2.) Or if you like the latest technology and tools, then you should consider Free Solaris Express Developer Edition which is built through the open source OpenSolaris project. (Free Solaris Express Developer Edition) http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/get.jsp#dvd > > Please, I need a hand for start to study SOLARIS, someone can help me? The first step towards helping you is for you to install the Solaris OS in one of your machines. Download and install either Solaris 10 or Solaris Express Developer Edition. For installation help and guide, check out: http://www.blastwave.org/docs/s10u3_howto.html OR http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/howtoguides/installationhowto.jsp#1 You will then get the feel of Solaris and you can move on to other topics such as installation and configuration of services, etc.. After the successful installation of Solaris in your machine, the following sites will help you: (1.) Bigadmin : http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/home/index.html (2.)
