Dear list !
I'm getting affected by the rumors ;-(
Not enough that everybody (well , mainly MS & IBM) claim that they'll beat Oracle up very soon and take it off the market , there is also a rumor that Solaris is not Oracle's #1 any more. I started to learn Solaris sys administration a couple of months ago , since i have seen that it's the most frequently seen UNIX, and i wanted to keep up with the market.
This question is for those of U who is doing UNIX system administration : is it easy to sysadmin another UNIX flavor (HP-UX,AIX,Linux) if U're comfortable with Solaris ?
Is it different inside , from sysadmin point of view ?

Should i switch to learning HP or AIX because Sun is getting abandoned by Oracle and therefore by the IT industry ?

Should i also start looking at IBM DB2 , MS SQL Server or other DBs , market-wise ?
Is it easy for an Oracle DBA to become GOOD DB2 , MS SQL Server or other DB DBA ? DBAndrey
