I've use Solaris 9 on X86 platform and i think that nobody does a best work than Sun Microsystem: Stabe, Fast, Secure the only problem was my Net Card and the hardware in general, it's very difficult to configure it

Am I wrong or is there a Solaris 10?? I heard about that a long time ago...Anyway, my friend has a AMD Opteron home-server with Solaris 8 installed and it sucks in my opinion. Its very hard to work with. Its okay as a server but I definately don't see myself or anyone using it for their home use...
Besides, I just hate Sun Microsystems  so maybe my opinion is negative about Solaris because of that...the only thing I like about them is Java...

Nope, solaris 10 is finished, released, and available for free. I use solais 9 almost every day in one way or anouther. depending on what mood im in, somtimes i use KDE on linux, and ssh into Solaris. and sometimes i run a full graphical login to solais with IceWM running on a local Linux machine. Our university has a dozen Solaris Servers, and Linux terminals for remote logins. Also eXceed running on windowsXP for remote iceWM X logins. |

I've used Solaris 10. I absolutely love it, but I'm mainly a Slack user now, just cause it seems to let me "grab the computer by the throat" a bit easier..and I could never get c64 or amiga emulation running properly on Solaris, which is a real shame. But slack has always treated me great, and it's what I learned on, so I'm in a bit of a disposition.

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=7][COLOR=blue] Any information regarding Solaris 10 can easily be found at http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/ Before I "retired" I worked as Unix Systems Administrator using Solaris 95% of my job with other on the Windows side. I thoroughly enjoyed learning and working with Unix and Sun Microsystems servers. It helped me get some killer paying jobs for start ups as a Unix Technical Support Engineer. I worked at two of DataCenter headquarters working the 3rd shift (7PM-7AM). It has been 3 years almost and boy, you sure forget a lot. I am very rusty but if I were to immerse myself back into Unix, it would all come back.[COLOR=blue] |

Heheh. Solaris 10 goes a long way towards improving Solaris as a personal operating system, but it still comes nowhere close to the level of the best Linux distros on x86. If you have a SPARC system, though, Solaris is still the way to go.
