Special offers for Solaris™ administrators migrating to
Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Maybe Oracle's acquisition of Sun has you and your company exploring migration options to platforms such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Or perhaps you're a Solaris™ administrator who wants to quickly expand your skillset. In either case, Red Hat Training has a course specifically tailored to bring you up to speed on the many similarities along with key differences between the two platforms.

Our new course, RH290 Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Solaris™ Administrators, quickly and efficiently covers many of the hands-on, practical skills you'll need when migrating from Solaris™ to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Focusing on the differences between the two operating systems, the course covers Red Hat Enterprise Linux equivalents to Solaris™-specific technologies, such as applying software patches, automated deployment with Jumpstart, and advanced filesystem features. In addition, the course demonstrates how to use RPM, yum, Red Hat Network (RHN), and Kickstart to manage your environment. You will acquire and set Linux kernel tunables, explore and configure the many supported hardware devices available from multiple vendors, and secure your users and services.

We want you to have the opportunity to attain the skills and competencies needed to manage a Red Hat Enterprise Linux environment. To help, we have two discounts just for you:
