[Gllug] Solaris training

[Matthew Smith]

Hi everyone,

I just got a call from the Sun Microsystems training people, telling me 
I might be eligible for partially government-sponsored training in 
Solaris administration.  Sun do a two-part Solaris admin course and the 
government's "Train to Gain" scheme covers 60% of the costs.

Has anyone got any experience of Sun training?  The woman who called 
couldn't tell me how much the cost would be, with or without the discount.

Also, how much in demand are Solaris admin skills nowadays?  I know that 
Solaris has been losing out to Linux all over the place, so how 
transferable are Solaris skills to Linux really?  What about the Oracle 
acquisition?  I asked about this on the phone and she told me that all 
the training schemes were going ahead, but the problem is that they're 
not much use if the OS is going downhill anyway.

Regards,

Matt Smith
