FadaSkeng.com is a basic guide for Linux & Solaris administrators or enthusiasts to get various applications up and running on their clients or servers. It does not delve into using the applications in depth, just simply installing and configuring these applications to get your programs up and running

The following table will prove very useful throughout each guide, as it provides a comparative command listing for Linux and Solaris 10. It focuses on the three most popular package formats used (.deb), (.rpm), (SUNW) Solaris 10 formats. Also used througout the guides are some packages for Solaris 10 from sunfreeware.com & blastwave.org.

1. Command line equivalents depending on distribution package format.
Table 1

#	SUN	rpm	dpkg
1.	pkginfo -l	rpm -qai	dpkg -l
2.	pkginfo -x	rpm -qa	dpkg -l
3.	pkginfo -p 'package'	rpm -qpi 'package'	dpkg -s 'package'
4.	pkginfo -q	rpm -q 'package'	dpkg -l 'package'
5.	pkgchk -v 'package'	rpm -qlp 'package'	dpkg -L 'package'
6.	pkgchk -lp 'filename'	rpm -qf 'filename'	dpkg -S 'filename'
7.	pkgrm 'package'	rpm -e 'package'	dpkg -r 'package'
8.	pkgadd -d 'package'	rpm -i 'package'	dpkg -i 'package'

2. A description list of each equivalent command.
Table 2

#	Description
1.	Detailed package listing of installed packages.
2.	Extracted lists of packages. abbreviation, name, architecture on the system.
3.	Verify whether a package is on the system and output it's version information.
4.	Queries for a package and returns its exit status and version number.
5.	Queries a package in your path and output its contents.
6.	Verifies which package a particular file on the system belongs to.
7.	Removes a package.
8.	Install package.

Most of what's here are taken from my notepads that I've created over the years. Each guide focuses on getting a particular application running on a .rpm, .deb and Solaris 10 based system all on x86 platform.

I have used openSUSE, Centos, Fedora Core, Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, Knoppix, Mandriva, Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris throughtout these guides. The guides will also be populated on an ongoing basis as I find more spare time. I would appreciate any feedback especially for errors.
