I've been meaning to do something like this for a LONG time, but I'm a procrastinator. This is my simple blog for my experiences with my flavor of Unix, Solaris!
I've been using Solaris regularly for a little over a year now. I say "regularly" because prior to diving in to a *nix, I got my POSIX fix with RedHat. While I still use Fedora, I have a serious penchant for SPARC based Hardware. My first SPARC was a fully loaded SPARCStation LX. It actually came with Solaris 2.5 loaded on it when I bought it from eBay, but I promptly replaced that with RedHat 6.2. That was 5 years ago.
My current SPARC computers are a considerable bit more responsive than the old LX box. I currently have a SPARCStation 20 MP with 2x75MHz SuperSPARC IIs and a Ultra30 with the 296MHz UltraSPARCii. I am using a boxed copy of Solaris 8 on the SS20, and a Sun-downloaded copy of Solaris 9 on the Ultra. Sometime I'll post some pics of them, spOOn and fOrk 2.0, respectively. There's some pics of spOOn on the gallery, available from the main page.
Back to the switch. I had used Solaris at work, we run a couple IVR's and a scheduling program called IEX on SPARC based hardware and Solaris 7 and 8. I had always considered Solaris to be "big-iron" kind of stuff and was pretty intimidated. Once Sun began offering free downloads of Solaris, I thought what could I lose?
I've installed it a few dozen times. I've gotten everything set up, just to have to start over again and again. I've gotten programs to compile that hadn't compiled before. I am still a newb. I've set this little site up so I can share my experiences, and others can add their comments.
By NO means am I a Solaris expert. I consider myself fairly familiar with using *nix and simply want to share what works for me.
