I'm going to do the following exam:
Sun Certified System Administrator for Solaris 10 OS Part 1 (GB-CX-310-200)
and was looking for a book and practice exams. I want to find the best one, so are asking for comments.
There seems to 4 posibiliies I can find. All of them have practice exams (I think so anyway). Anyone care to comment on how good/bad the questions are and how they compare with the real exam? (PS, if anyone has any exams they want to send me, I'd appreicat it. Short of cash just now, being unemployed).
Does anyone know if any of the exams can be used on Solaris? Seems a bit off to have to buy a book on Solaris exams, then run the exams on a Windoze PC!! There's an open-source php product for making exams
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpexam
although I have not used it.
And it can't be too hard to adapt http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpsurvey/ to do the same. All it needs is a basic apache server running at some port > 1024 so a non-admin can run it. There may be other ways too. I'm sure if I was writing a book aimed at Solaris, I'd make sure any materials run on Solaris. Perhaps I'm must too anti M$.
Anyway, back to the books ...
1) "Solaris 10 System Administration Exam Cram 2 Exam 200 and 202 (Exam Cram 2 S.)" by John Philcox
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0789734060/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2_cp/026-7314199-9618843
The problem with this is that it is not published until Feb 2006 and I really want to get it asap, so this is out, although I thought I'd list it just in case anyone does a Google at a later date and finds the post of use.
If anyone has seen a pre-print and would make any comments I'm sure others would not mind seeing them.
