I would think about learning Solaris first

First, you can pick up a learning platform for $1,000. http://www.sun.com/desktop/sunblade100/ Second, there are countless number of manuals and Pubs that can be downloaded for free on Sun's sight. After you have a grasp on things port over to the HP. It's easier on the wallet and to get started. I to found my self out of a job about a year ago. now I'm making decent money as a SparC farm keeper. Assistant System Adminstrator for UBS in Switzerland and I'm American. Unix is the way to go : )
