you're a brave man to run LJ on solaris.

there might not be a good book on Solaris 10 because that OS is dead. look, i'm less than 60 miles from silicon valley, i used to get calls on my resume just because i could spell s-o-l-a-r-i-s, i remember why SunOS is different than Solaris and when we actually would run both flavors and people would stubbornly call solaris 2.x, "sunos 5.x"... but even here, even in start-up SF where every one that was cool was running solaris+oracle+java in 1999... there aren't any new solaris shops coming up.

except for Sun processors, there is no reason to run solaris. except for fun. so i'm not trying to talk you out of it. i respect learning for learning's sake, and if it's something that excites you and gets you looking forward to coming home and playing with blueportal, then go for it.

could i interest you in learning cisco IOS or juniper's junOS instead?

I didn't think that Solaris was dead. But that just goes to show you what I know. I figured that Solars would still have market share in servers...what is the dominant OS for that market? I also hoped that knowing Solaris could help land me a job one day...

I'm just looking at playing with something I haven't seen before. I want to run Fedora 10 on a spare box eventually.

Perhaps after I research them...of course, you're more then welcome to attempt to entice pre-research.

that's just my viewpoint. you're right that solaris is not DEAD DEAD, otherwise sun professional services and tech support would have nothing to do ( ... )

This was a decent post. Not a 10, but also not a 1. More like... a strong 6 or a weak 7.

(*looks at your photo*) See? you were a dork even then... (*smile*)

They say that style is learned but with you I think that lack of it was bred into you (*smirks*) combined with the unusual home you were placed in through the foster care system.

I'm surprised you read it at all.

*shrug*

YOU are the one who said we would not be talking any more. Besides I had told you that we could still be friends just so long as you never called me up to bitch like that again.

I had told you I would read this post...

No, you said that you didn't want to be friends and that you had plenty more. If your conscience is bothering you, you need to call your shrink.

That's what ehowton said.

btw, my previous post is an open invitation, though it doesn't look like Nashville's getting The Dark Knight. I think I will have a better turn out for Taken (two weeks from yesterday) as there are several more people who will have the ability to go. Ya'll should come.
