I second that, plus that IMHO Solaris is slower (installing Solaris is like watching the grass grow) and far less flexible than LINUX, and even if you have all of the GNU packages compiling programs from free software often fails. It beats me why SuSE (and other Linuces)don't dominate the market.
There's a belief among a lot of old Unix hands that commercially developed systems are more reliable and perform better than Linux. I've heard it more than once, and it's hard to disprove with objective evidence. There's also the feeling that if something goes wrong with your Solaris, say, you can get whatever help you need from Sun, albeit at a very high tariff. I'm talking about beliefs, not necessarily reality.
