| ShawnR | anyone here messed around with cinelerra video editor? i'm having export issues :( | 03:49 |
|---|---|---|
| ShawnR | anyone know how much diff working in solaris is vs linux? | 22:39 |
| rmcbride | Mainly different in the way shell works, and the complete lack of availability of most FOSS tools | 22:49 |
| rmcbride | it's been about 4 years since I've done any Solaris. | 22:49 |
| rmcbride | Years ago, I would have used it at home in some capacity because occasionally work would get rid of perfectly servicable hardware. These days I wouldn't do anything with Solaris unless work requirements called for it | 22:51 |
| rmcbride | Network interface names are somewhat different by default | 22:51 |
| ShawnR | well, i'm trying to find a job and was wondering how much i'd need to learn to go from linux to solaris | 22:51 |
| rmcbride | You could pick the differences up pretty quickly I think | 22:52 |
| rmcbride | most of the real differences are command line switches and some of the init and networking. It's like learning a new dialect really | 22:52 |
| rmcbride | Now that Oracle owns Sun, FOSS support is even less than it used to be, but that's probably not a concern if it's for work | 22:53 |
| ShawnR | thanks for the info, i know i don't have to really shy away from solaris jobs | 23:08 |
| rmcbride | You're quite welcome. Good luck! | 23:12 |
| ShawnR | thanks. you don't know of any sites that are good at providing good jobs dealing with unix in NE FL, do ya? | 23:13 |
| rmcbride | Not really, no. I'm in Central FL and about to relocate to SE florida. I would say the usual, Linkedin/Dice/Monster | 23:46 |
| rmcbride | would give a good idea anyhow | 23:46 |
