Definitely. I worked on NT for a year, and have recently begun to use Solaris. I'd be lost if it wasn't for that prior experience. There are more similarities than differences. I suggest you read the platform specific install/admin manuals very carefully - they are not the same across versions, but the "concepts" are.
