Like it or not, Jake's reply is just as legitimate as yours. Solaris has caché to some, myself included. Me not knowing anything about it beyond the fact that it was SunOS before Solaris doesn't change a thing. Please don't be so dismissive. People bring different backgrounds and expectations to the discussion and it is good to hear all of them. I for one disagree with Blake - I am a newbie and am quite attracted to the legacy of Solaris by way of Illumos and OpenIndiana.
