Well, the basicness of what you said is true -as 'Solaris' primarily is a server-oriented product from a marketing emphasis standpoint. But Solaris is one of the best Unix-based OS for desktops/workstations on the market - overshadowed mainly by Mac OS X. It does not have all the whiz-bangery and ported FOSS applications of most Linux/BSD desktop distros or Mac OS X, but it provide solid reliability and scalability. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
