- then there are the command line programs. There might be a good reason for this, but I feel that some of the Solaris-shipped tools are inferior to the GNU tools. For example, I don't see a reason why a simple recursive grep with 'grep -R' does not work on Solaris.
It doesn't on linux either (i think you mean 'grep -r'), but yes - this drives me mad too :) You should have a /usr/sfw/bin/ggrep that works how you want - if not, you need to add the 'SUNWggrp' package.
Even 'man man' doesn't work here. (I'm beginning to wonder whether this may be because the man pages are not installed... could this be? man man should work, right?)
Either the man command or the manpages aren't installed on your box: pkgadd -d /cdrom/Solaris_11/Product SUNWdoc SUNWman catman -w
- the actual kernel is not very important from a user point of view I think. What is important is the hardware support
A few years back you'd just check hardware worked with Linux before buying it. If you're going to build a dedicated Solaris box, that's the best plan (although the hardware compatibility list for sun needs some TLC). -- Rasputin :: Jack of All Trades - Master of Nuns http://number9.hellooperator.net/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
