Because of a few reasons, actually: (1) The remote hardware management options available for the X2100 work better (or only, I'm not sure which) under Solaris, and they seem to *really* kick ass. Plus, being Sun-engineered, the X2100 should keep working until it's completely obsolete, and then some. (2) I know someone who knows Solaris inside-out and backwards, blindfolded, while hung upside-down, and codes Bourne shell and C in his sleep; this is vaguely reminiscent of www.chucknorrisfacts.com. I'm quite sure this will come in handy when (not if) something breaks, giving him the opportunity to make some money and giving me the opportunity to reduce my downtime. :) (3) I'd like to learn Solaris, and being SysV-based like Linux, it shouldn't be too much of a stretch. -- Alexander Burke, A+, CCNA Kingston, Ontario, Canada _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
