Solaris 7 - how to?

[mikes999]

Hi,

I just started my self-education in Solaris, installed Solaris7 on an intel box, now I need a good book to start aquiring basic admin/web skills (I have strong NT/networking/TCP backgrounds, and some in HP-UX, but not much).
Which book would do the job for me?

I appreciate any tips, suggestions and comments - thanks!

Hi,

The best book according to me would be
Solaris 7 Administrator Certification training guide by
Bill Calkins

NavinB,

I'll get the book in a bout a month, meanwhile, is htere any internet source to get me started?

my problem is - those darn windows; I know how to find my way around a terminal screen, but how to start one...

I know, it's stupid, but I am itching to start doing something right away.

Thanks for your input, though...

Thanks - I was there, and, BTW, I've got a book aleady. Unfortunately, it refers mostly to SPARC station, while I am using x86, and some operations (bootstrap, for one) are totally different.
