UNIX newbie NEWBIE question!
Hello everyone,

Just started UNIX today! In our school we use solaris. I just want to know how do I setup Solaris 10 not the GUI one, the one where you have to type the commands like ECHO, ls, pwd, etc... I have windows xp and I also have vmware.
I hope I am not missing anything! Smilie

Bears mentioning that GUI environments are 'extras' for a UNIX system, not anything fundamental. UNIX can give you a shell without a GUI, the closest Windows gets is the recovery console.
