The hardest part for me when I was trying to jump into Linux from Solaris was commands that were different but same. For example Linux's export/ Solaris's share. For this there is a great O reilly book that "connects" commands from different OS's for this very purpose. Have fun with Solaris's ZFS file system. It is officially the coolest thing since sliced bread if you ask me. Solaris 11 is also supposed to support booting from ZFS. Have fun! Hi Scott,

I was forced to learn Solaris before I any Linux distros, so I know what you are going through.

Have fun with Solaris’s ZFS file system. It is officially the coolest thing since sliced bread if you ask me. Solaris 11 is also supposed to support booting from ZFS.

Have fun!

There’s opensolaris.org as well: some good resources, especially mailing lists–check out some of the *-discuss lists.

For ZFS, there’s a good video explaining it’s architecture:

Also recently ran across a video on SMF (the init.d replacement):
