I am looking for a document or FAQ listing the differences between
Solaris 2.5 and the most current version. I'd also like the same kind
of docs comparing and contrasting Solarils and SGI IRIX. Any pointers
would be appreciated.

Did your school fail to teach you how to use google.com?

If you go to http://docs.sun.com/ and view the "What's New" document
for each release, you'll see the changes - add them all up and you'll
have a long list.

Ok, I admit the Solaris version question was stupid. It was late at
night and I wasn't thinking. But I was serious about the IRIX
question.
About four years ago when I used to admin Solaris machines and the
occassional IRIX machine I had an FAQ listing some differences between
the two OS. I used it whenever I had to work on an SGI. It could be
that this particular document is no longer around or is way out of
date. That is why I'm posting to this news group looking for it.
Since you have such a superior knowledge of google why don't you tell
me how to search google for this doc. I've tried various combinations
of the words Solaris, SGI, IRIX, FAQ, comparison and difference.

OK, I'll give you a subtle hint:
What helped archeologists unviel the mystery of the ancient egyptian
hieroglyphs?

Search google for that.

LOL!

But that stone just gives the command interface differences, and somewhat
superficially at that. It certainly was a useful tool when I started to
learn how to use and admin Tru64.

One might also google for "system administration" solaris irix.
