Yes. The file systems are very similar (I believe that Solaris 2 offers UFS, but I think they also have some other file system which is compatible at a user level), but they're not the same. Configuration can be quite different, depending on what you mean. Some things are similar, others are unrecognizably different. > I want to go for Solaris Certification but I don't have the OS to do > hands on training on.
