Solaris package tip
Since I'm more of an OS X/FreeBSD/Linux person lately, I've gotten a bit out of touch with Solaris administration. I was quite pleasently surprised to find CSW - Community SoftWare for Solaris which includes hundreds of pre-built packages for Solaris. More importantly, it provided the three I really needed and didn't have time to build. :-)
The system is really well constructed. I highly recommend it to everyone. Give this project your support!

I'll be interested in seeing how long it takes to update certain apps compared to similar setups like Cygwin. Might not be an option for production systems, but good for a sysadmin to tool with while getting familiar.
