Hi there. Since I administrate several Solaris servers at work, I would like to use Solaris at home too. I have used linux and freebsd for long time, but after Sun started to open solaris it appeals more and more to me. Still I have some probably stupid questions to ask. Just be honest and feel free to post Your opinion:
NB: When I say Solaris I also mean OpenSolaris. 1) Freebsd and Debain can be installed as minmum, and then You can suit them as You like. What I don't like about Solaris is that it take up 5 GB or more for a standard installation. Why do Sun or OpenSolaris need so much initial harddisk just for the instalaltion ? 2) The package system on Solaris is years behind the package systems from FreeBSD and Debian. Do the Solaris plan to evolve their package system, or will it remain in the current clumsy state ? 3) In my opinion Solaris would be superior to Debian and FreeBSD if it had a smarter package handling, and if it could be installed as a minimum system one could suit and build up by adding just the needed packages. 4) The Ultimate linux-killer would be if You could install and run Debian Linux packages with apt-get Come on, and give me Your 2 Cents :) Br, Daniel Mersebak, Copenhagen This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
