Different purpose/use. I would never trade any of my solaris servers
for Linux. In '00 or so when I was basically just a Linux zealot,
sure. But not since my time started to become valuable to me. There
is a reason Solaris is like it is... Long term stability. BTW - I
wouldn't call it stale, have any of you used ZFS yet? There are a lot
of bleeding edge things going on at Sun lately.
