Question: what are the similarities and differences between solaris and FreeBSD operating systems? if i gain some knowledge on FreeBSD how far would it go to help me get the basic idea of solaris?

Answer: I agree with the previous answer, but keep in mind\nthat Solaris kept all of the  BSD'isms that didn't\nstrictly conflict with SYSV.\n\nAlso, BSD Unix is currently getting a port of DTrace,\nso it will have yet another thing in common with\nSolaris.
