The basic session will be on ack , a grep replacement, by Craig Bucheck.

The main presentation will be Solaris for Linux Admins by Jeff Muse.

Solaris is a UNIX-based operating system introduced by Sun Microsystems in 1992 as the successor to SunOS.

We will discuss the tips, tricks, gotchas, and just plain mysteries of Solaris for those coming from a purely Linux background. Areas highlighted will include directory structure, filesystem management, process management, software RAID and volume management, devices, network configuration, package management, and differences between equivalently named Solaris and Linux utilities. Because each of these topics are a presentation to themselves, we'll stay at a very high level. Our goal is to get those making the transition from Linux to Solaris the resources they need to get themselves up to speed quickly.
