Now I can search for things like "fiber channel ports" or "how to find the number of seconds since epoch" and it gives me that info instantly without having to leaf through my notebook. As soon as I find something new or with future possibilities, I enter in the KB.
I've only been working with Solaris for seven months so I'm certainly not a maven. I've built machines from scratch as well as from FLARs, etc., and while that teaches a lot, the best education tool has been troubleshooting and solving problems.
The second thing is to learn how to search. There's so much information out that that is so, so old and doesn't apply. On top of that, Oracle killed a lot of Sun links, so something that looks exactly like what you're looking for will lead you to the generic Oracle support home page. Do a lot of research and really pay close attention to dates of forums and docs you read. They can send you on a lot of wild goose chases.
