I've taken the instructor led Sun certification classes and they were great, but terribly expensive. I think it was about $3000 per class and there were 3 classes in the certification track.

I also used a set of computer based training CD-Roms when I was a help desk guy who wanted to do Unix. The Unix manager told me to get with his admins to come up with some training stuff and that is what they recommended. They were from a company called National Education Training Group. They had a 7 disk Unix set covering basic Unix topics, sysadmin topics, tcp/ip networking, and shell scripting. They were $150 each, or just over a grand for the set. Combined they cost 1/3 of what just one of the sun classes cost, and it gave me a good enough foundation that when I got promoted from help desk to junior Unix admin I was very well prepared.

If you want more info email me and I'll try to dig up the titles at home. They might still be availible from NETg.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris  invokes  the  Solaris  Install  program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

           Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

           Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

           Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris  exists  only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
