Quick intros to Solaris 10
Sun has open sourced Solaris finally, so some Linux users may be tempted to try it out. I certainly encourage that,
but you need to realize that while some things will be familiar - Solaris is a *nix variant, after all - much will be
very alien. Fortunately, a fella name of Ben Rockwood has written a 2 part "Accelerated Introduction to Solaris
10" that you really ought to peruse if you're thinking about playing with the new Solaris. Read Part 1 and then mosey on over to Part 2. You'll learn something, even if you never play
to actually use Solaris, and that's always a good thing.

Comparison of OpenSolaris/Solaris 10, Linux 2.6, and FreeBSD 5.3 kernels

and he anticiates even more overlap with the solaris code now open sourced. That in and of itself isn't a hugh
revelation, but he does a great job of explaining some of the concepts of kernel design without getting so detailed you
have to actually be a kernel hacker to understand what he's saying. It's a nice rundown of where the projects differ,
particularly with respect to hardware abstraction, and what the consequences of the differing approaches are. ...
