Talking Things to learn in Solaris

Hey guys, I want to learn some solaris commands, and some of the stuff solaris is capable of. Just to mess around with, what are some things I could do on my sunfire to learn? If you could list some stuff that would be fun to mess around with, that would be nice. Thanks

pkgadd, ipmp, zfs characteristics, format, ksh (the default shell), NIS+ is also fun/interesting.

NIS+ is being phased out.

Not NIS+ then (it wasn't much use when I got it working anyway) and was an administrative nightmare regarding switching it on first following a powercut - making sure no other servers began booting, lol.
