I tought myself Linux and x86 Solaris, swapped into a Unix job from
mechanical engineering, never looked back, have better hours, higher job
security, way more job satisfaction and of course last but not least
more $.
Solaris is very similar to Linux and the swapping pretty easy. Other
Unixes such as HP-UX, Tru64 and SCO are more different and need more
effort, however even these (except SCO) are broadly similar, just take
more time.
When it comes to replacing the 43 Solaris top 100 sites, Windows v
Linux's gains will be interesting.
Windows is way differeent to Solaris. Windows has a Unix for windows
plug in but its buggyunstable crap IMHO. If such a hybrid box is needed
better to run vmware and 1 instance of each.
From my limited dealings with SCO boxes its more like Windows than any
other Unix.
