If so, Solaris or any other O/S can be learned. I took a five day course in Solaris System Administration, paid for by my employer. The slower and cheaper method is to purchase a used Sun Workstation and a copy of Solaris. An Ultra 10 workstation is quite affordable. Or, if you want to learn the X86 version, find as used PC. Install the O/S. Configure networking. Add some user accounts. Install a printer and create a print queue. Print something. Figure out how to back up your disk and do it! Download copies of the Doc Set. RTFM If you can do all that, you've got the basics.
