There is nothing Linux has that Solaris doesn't either.
on x86, its still the sore point of drivers. Regardless of what your views on what constitutes "running" -- I have many pieces of hardware from '96 to the present that will run w/ Linux, but not with Solaris. Probably a good 50-60% in fact. Why? As Ian says, its critical mass, and no amount of being "better engineered" solves that. Except that Solaris has more, much more. So anybody picking Linux as "the best solution" does so out of pure ignorance and incompetence.
Ignorance and incompetence have no place in Informatics and Computer Science. _________________________________________________________________ Connect to the next generation of MSN Messenger http://imagine-msn.com/messenger/launch80/default.aspx?locale=en-us&source=wlmailtagline_______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
