Great idea ! I personally would appreciate such an area, since I support, deploy, architect and administer most of the time. There must be plenty of people out there that work with Solaris/Sparc/X86 everyday in almost all sectors of IT, except for coding. It's very difficult (my opinion) to

I'll fourth that sentiment. Part of my problem has been that I want to be involved, but I'm not a programmer. So, this begs the question of exactly where I should start. That is, there are a number of aspects of Solaris 10/OpenSolaris that I'm really interested in, but that means having to
