Have you been reading a different thread? Maybe people spend all day defending Linux from Windows users, I don't know, but many people seem to parse 'some OSes might have something to teach Linux' as 'your mother is a slut'. Solaris (10 in particular) is streets ahead of Linux in many areas - system initialisation (smf) and system-wide debugging (dtrace) spring to mind. Since you mention security, look at Solaris zones and the awesome fine-grained Solaris security model if you enjoy the sound of jaws hitting floors. Last time I checked, Sun had a website you could read about Solaris on, and download a free Intel version from. If anyones curious, I suggest they try that. You won't go to hell or anything. If, on the other hand, you've decided that Linux is a perfect OS and nothing could possibly be an improvement on it, just admit that and stop wasting everyones time pretending to want to learn something.
