I was wondering what the major differences are in the day to day administering of SCO Unix vs Sun (Solaris)

Any ideas ?

 
The day to day sysadmin tasks are more or less the same :
Check your mail
Check free space
Check system logs
etc

The administration tools (User admin, printers, etc) are different but do the job on both

The major difference in administering Sun Solaris vs SCO Unix is that you can find a lot more info, freeware and knowledge on Sun Solaris compared to SCO Unix, which makes
it much easier to administer Solaris.
As far as performance goes, it differs according to the platform you are running on. [sig][/sig]

Maintaing scoadmin is much tough than solaris admin
because solaris have only two panels but if u want to create it u can create it,but in sco unix we have more 169 panels so that we can maintain that many jobs at a time this makes how much tough it is to maintain its administration.
In sco admin we can have more than 10 common desktop but in solaris this facility is not
available.
In scoadmin the tool scoadmin works in gui and also in cui(character user interface),butin solaris the admintool is not available in cui mode(command).
