I'm currently using Ubuntu Linux as a server to host a [b]Seaside/Squeak[/b] web application. This application makes heavy use of streaming video. I'm using [b]Darwin Streaming Server[/b]. Of course, I'm also using [b]Apache2[/b].
My Seaside/Squeak application uses [b]PostgreSQL[/b], too. A friend of mine (a Solaris professional) has strongly recommended using Solaris instead of Linux. I must confess, I'm a bit trepidatious. I don't really have too much time to mount yet another learning curve. So I have some basic questions whose answers will hopefully help me to decide whether I should make the leap from Ubuntu... 1) Does Solaris have a software repository and package management system comparable to Ubuntu's apt-get in terms of ease-of-use, up-to-date packages, and extensiveness of repository (excellent selection of packages)? 2) How do I go about scaling my Seaside app through [b]load-balancing[/b] (multiple instances of Squeak on the same server machine)? Is there documentation that can help me? 3) Can Darwin Streaming Server run on Solaris?
