James, I'm in the same boat. I can navigate my FreeBSD boxes blind folded (as long as I can peek out the corner :). I'm now responsible for a slew of solaris boxes. I don't like the layout one little bit. I find the Solaris /etc directory to be a complete nightmare. I haven't had time to sit down and negotiate with Solaris to find a happy medium, but I'm confident that given time, I can re-structure the /etc directory to be more in line with my FreeBSD boxes. The rest (userland stuff) is pretty much the same throughout the various unices (I've worked as a user on HP/UX, Solaris, linux, irix, BSD and SCO), though I much prefer the way FreeBSD's filesystem is layed out. I wish you the best of luck, -- Troy Settle Network Analyst Picus Communications 540.633.6327 ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Dan Larsson ** Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2000 8:02 AM ** To: James A Wilde; FreeBSD Questions ** Subject: RE: FreeBSD->Solaris ** ** ** | Does anyone have any good guidelines to books or other ** reference material ** | which will help me get up to speed in an environment where I ** can hardly find ** | my way around the /etc directory?
