I've given the predecessors of the courses (SA-118, SA-238 for Solaris 8) and also the System Administration II several times. I'm not at all trilled about the course materials (for instance, when it introduces 'find' in the beginners course (on day 2, IIRC) it immediately discusses almost all its options as well).

I've once given a Solaris course using materials from HP education (and hence the material was about HP-UX), and I vastly prefer that material over the material supplied by SUN education - even for a Solaris course.

Unfortunally, I don't have an answer what a good book for Solaris is. Except for the course materials, I don't know any. I love Solaris, did lots of adminning on it, but I just grew into it.
