I have tried Solaris for Intel and Sco Unix and neither is very good for a
desktop OS.
Haven't tried FreeBsd but have heard good things about it.
Sco and Solaris are both more difficult fo configure than Linux and the
hardware support
is much more limited.
You have not had fun until you try to setup Solaris to dial into the
internet and try to download
a compiler since Sun doesn't give you one and you can't install any software
to use it without it.
