Hi there,
What are the main differences between Solaris and (let's say SuSE) Linux from a user's point of view?
Virtually none. The original goal that Linus had in mind was for Linux to be a UNIX-like environment for programmers. The difference between Solaris and Linux is about the same as Solaris vs. HPUX, Solaris vs. AIX, Solaris vs. IRIX, or any other UNIX you can think of. Linux has two primary advantages: Low initial cost, and the fact that most Linux distributions include a full compliment of GNU tools and applications, whereas the commercial U*X may not. -- -=|JP|=- Jon Pennington | Atipa Linux Solutions -o) jpennington@atipa.com | Kansas City, MO /\\ 816-241-2641 x107 | http://www.atipa.com _\_V -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
