Hi there, Its a question of preference. Solaris is a far superior OS in the kernel etc. Userland it just isn't. Nexenta is a really nice bridge between the two. Frankly, if you need to get hot around the collar about this issue its alright.

Let me ask you this though: you had no problem with learning Linux, why do you have a problem with learning Solaris then? I really don't mean to sound cliche, but that's a double standard... not to mention it's plainly and simply unreasonable. Sun gave people like you everything you demanded so far -- an open source OS, a nice liberal license, tons of really usable, high-quality professional tools and software - but it's all still not enough. If what you really want is another Linux, then why settle for a "copy"? Just use the original, and don't bother with Solaris. The way you put it, "either make it look and behave like Linux or we'll ditch it", just sounds too much like blackmail. And I'm really unsure is such user base is a good user base for any operating system, including Linux himself. _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar - get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/
