Solaris 10: tips and tricks for system administration

I wonder if someone would be kind enough to share his most interesting Solaris blogs?

Here is a partial list of what I regularly read, maybe you'll like some of it:

In Russian:

• Ruslan Valiev - Designerus

In English:

• Ilya Voronin - CurThread.org


• Robert Milkowski - Milek's Blog


• James Dickens - Unix Admin Corner


• Bill Rushmore - Developer's Quarterdeck Log


• Ben Rockwood - Cuddletech: use UNIX or die


• Derek Crudgington - A look into Solaris

Well, that seems to be all I read. Surely, there are hundreds more on blogs.sun.com and OpenSolaris.org blogs, so I enjoy opening main pages of these resources now and then just to selectively read the most interesting posts (I also find weekly lists of posts on OpenSolaris to be particularly useful).

Если вы знаете какие-то ещё интересные блоги - пожалуйста прошу оставлять ссылки в комментариях. Буду рад расширить свой список!

Once again, Sun is giving Solaris 10 away. This time around, you can order a DVD edition of Solaris 10 and Sun Studio 11, and what's really cool is that both x86 and Sparc editions of Solaris 10 OS are included.

All you have to do is simply fill in the fre Solaris 10 and Sun Studio 11 Media Kit DVD form. I've already done this and expect the DVD to be delivered in 10 business days or so.

At last, the year of 2007 is here! I would like to wish you a very successful year, and to welcome you once again.

Recently I have mentioned a wonderful website called The Linux Equivalent Project.

Turns out, it's not as unique as I thought! I've just stumbled across another one, which covers a bigger market share - open source software - and also has a deeper structure of its sections: OSalt. Too bad they've got so much advertisement on every page ;)

Alas, some of the open source alternatives are fairly remote compared to the original software they're attributed to (for instance, VirtualDub is said to be an alternative to Adobe Premiere). One more rather upsetting thing is that the accent of this project is on open source solutions, which are not necessarily available for Unix platform.

This project obviously needs more work - for instance, the only Adobe Camera RAW alternative there is ufRAW, while I'm sure there are many more. I personally like Raw Therapee, but it's a binary distribution at the moment, so that probably explains why it's not listed in the current version of the OSalt.

In any case, I think it's a rather interesting website well worth a few minutes of your time: OSalt.
