Yeah, we should endeavor to be helpful to newcomers (although not
spoon-feed them) whenever they come by.

We could have answers like that on darned near any Linux forum out there,
 but we should at least try and be helpful.

How about some sites?  How about the wiki which specifically covers
Solaris installations?


Here's some Solaris goo:

Guide#Solaris_11.2F06_U3_on_Sun_hardware


And some helpful sites:

Xymon <http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Hobbit>;
Deadcat <http://www.deadcat.net/>; MRTG
<http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/hobbit-mrtg.html>; Hobbit Tips and
Tricks<http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/hobbit-tips.html>; Man Pages
<http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/docs/man-index.html>; Xymonton
<http://xymonton.trantor.org/doku.php>; Windows Goodness
<http://system.keilir.net/windows.html>; Hobbiton
<http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/>;

Come on...   we're better than that.

In Josh's defense, it looked like a spoon-feed request.  He's generally
pretty helpful to noobs who ask questions with any thought behind them. 
My inclination was to refer the OP to:
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I also harked back to another mailing list, in a previous century, and the
question "How do I configure the best firewall?".  The goofery and
ridicule went on for days, including pictures of wirecutters.

You're probably a better person than I am.
