Not nearly as much as the old SunOS 4.x.x was. I was doing SunOS admin when
I discovered FreeBSD several years ago...actually I think it was called
386BSD back then, or was it BSD386? Anyway I loaded it on my spiffy new
386DX40 system and was astounded how much it was like the Sparcs (1's, I
think) I admin'ed at work. I learned a LOT about Unix by dinking with my
'BSD box at home. A lot changed with Solaris to make it much less BSD'ish.
It's a lot more bloated with CDE and the various admintools that I don't
think add that much value. But then, I still think vi is the best sysadmin
tool...
