Hello, Ummm..it may be just me, but no one has mentioned that Solaris runs on as many as 64 cpus right now, it's 64bit and many other things. I know this is not an "end user" thing. There are a great many differences between Linux and Solaris. BTW..I have tons of GNU software that I compiled or added via package to my Ultra 10 and it all works. It's the same as if I was on my Linux box .. satisfy the deps and it should work...*shrug* just my 0.02
So there is no difference between Solaris, Linux or CP/M for that matter. The various OS's only make life easier or harder for administrators. Given that then as a user I would want the OS that gives me the widest range of applications and hardware support and my administrator has the job of making it work.
