+
+Here a few tips to GNU/Linux users who find themselves with accounts
+on a [SunOS][]/[Solaris][] machine.  The following are true of my
+university's SunOS 5.10 machine, your mileage may vary.
+
+List system information
+=======================
+
+`uname` hasn't changed:
+
+    $ uname -srv
+    SunOS 5.10 Generic_144489-11
+
+List processor information
+==========================
+
+What?  No `/proc/cpuinfo`?  Use `psrinfo`:
+
+    $ psrinfo
+    0       on-line   since 01/07/2012 02:38:26
+    1       on-line   since 01/07/2012 02:38:35
+    …
+    $ psrinfo -v
+    Status of virtual processor 0 as of: 02/13/2012 12:57:27
+      on-line since 01/07/2012 02:38:26.
+      The i386 processor operates at 3333 MHz,
+            and has an i387 compatible floating point processor.
+    …
+
+X windows
+=========
+
+Sun's X window server is `openwin`.  I couldn't get a remote X server
+running over SSH, but the usual X tunneling to my local server worked
+fine.
+
+Other interesting commands
+==========================
+
+* `prtdiag`: print disagnostic information (vaguely similar to `lshw`)
+* `prstat`: display process information (similar to `top`)
+* `vmstat`: print virtual memory statistics (similar to `free`)
+* `mpstat`: a per-processor version of `vmstat`
+* `pgrep`: print process IDs by process name or other attributes
+* `pfiles`: print files opened by a process
