Solaris UNIX for normal people

I started using Solaris UNIX about 3 months ago when management in my office got hold of a mountain load of old SPARC Sun kit off eBay. They decided to use a couple of the rack mounting servers to run some of their applications and I have been detailed with maintaining them. My problem? I've never touched a Solaris box in my life! I am by nature a Mac/Windows user and have never had to dabble in anything but the cuddly UNIX that runs on my MacBook and OS X Server. However, I am happy with my status as a geek and enjoy learning new things. This lil' blog is aiming to provide others in my situation with some tips on how to get around some of the problems that I have encountered.
