Hi all, happy New Year!
Just thought I’ll take a few minutes to welcome you to the new year and to thank you once again for staying with the Solaris Blog for so long!
My plans for this blog are quite humble in the view of Solaris not being a primary Unix-like OS at work anymore, but I’m still quite curious about a few things and would gladly share knowledge and answer your questions to my best ability.
So far, the following topics appear to be most useful:
- Anything to do with SSH (stay tuned and take a minute to become RSS reader of my Unix Tutorial blog – I plan on releasing an SSH eBook later this year which many of you will find useful) – yes, it will cover passwordless SSH and will have some of the best X11 forwarding recipes
- DTrace tips – still my favorite from Solaris 10 times, DTrace is truly amazing. I’m both surprised and glad that it made its way into many other operating systems. If anything, I’ll be sharing occasional tips on DTrace in Mac OSX. I will assume you’ve all seen Brendan Gregg’s excellent DTrace Tools kit!
- ZFS – this proved to be so useful and revolutionary at the time that ZFS can now be found in a number of appliances and OS distros for NAS storage management (hello ZFS Build, Nexenta and Zena Box!)
I plan to expand sections of the blog covering these topics, but will gladly add anything you may find useful enough to flag in the comments section.
I’m really looking forward to 2012, and hope there will be more than one occasion when you will find my tips useful and readily applicable. Talk soon!
