Thank you. That site also has PDFs of a set of Solaris classes I took back
in 2000 in a "Solaris Administration Boot Camp" that Sun offered. I had
lent the hard copies to someone years ago and they never returned it. The
ones on the sites are for Solaris 8. Mine for Solaris 7. The instructors
were in the process of updating the class for Solaris 8. I'm going to see
if I can't hunt down that Solaris 7 specific version.


The Boot Camp was an interesting idea. For 8K, they put you in a hotel,
fed you all three meals, and they crammed as much as they could into 12
hour days for 5 days. What was interesting about the class was a bunch of
people in the Solaris and neighboring Java Boot Camp in the next room over
were part of a dot-com (November/December 2000) that went under right
before the classes started. The instructors offered to refund the students
so that they were not on the hook for the 8K. I think everyone stayed
anyway and continued with the classes.

My RHCE certification was similar back in '04 - four days of education, one
day of (hardcore) testing, both "written" and in a lab/hands-on environment.

I've passed the Sun Certified System Administrator and Sun Certified
Network Administrator tests, and the RHCE was harder than both of them...

I miss managing Solaris day-to-day at work. It's all Linux nowdays, but
it pays the bills.

That's another reason I try to keep running at least one Solaris system.

I remember RH worked very hard to ensure their certification actually meant
something to a potential employer - this was at the beginning of the MCSE
bexplosionb where the MS certification was rendered almost meaningless by
the number of successful test-takers that had passed the test but knew almost
nothing.

One must not forget that many MSCE-holders said that what MS taught didnbt
work or was not the most effective manner to achieve the action needed.
From these testimonies, given in a variety of places (online, at
conferences, and in person) may indicate that MS hosed themselves with
incompetent and inapplicable training. The CIOs and management types that
bbought intob the MCSE schema also assisted in creating this issue.

I was just reviewing the shell programming for system admin's one myself. I was
taking the Solaris admin II class at the time, sometime in the late 1990's, and
after asking a bunch of off-the-wall (shell programming) questions that the
instructor didn't want to/couldn't answer, I ended up with a copy of the shell
programmers class (hard copy).

All the nawk/sed/system redirection stuff is the same. The (hard copy) class
book I have is all in C-shell. The PDF here is Bourne && Korn shell.
