Ah, I see. Well, if you guys have Linux/*BSD experience, picking up
OmniOS won't be much work. 95% of the basic tools work the same, and
there really is only a handful of concepts that differ. From an ops
perspective, the largest difference is SMF, the init replacement. It can
seem daunting at first, but the general idea is fairly simple and there
are pre-built manifests and method scripts available on the net, so most
of the time I myself just grab something that's done and adapt.
