   Sun Solaris is good.
   Windows is good.
   Mac is good.

   There all the same.

   I’m happy as long as the operating system doesn’t lock people into the operating system.

    Solaris is UNIX….same as BSD is. But Sun has payed license to UNIX treademark unlike BSD community. So thats why Solaris is UNIX and BSD is UNIX-LIKE.

    Well there are ways to play many ways to play games on linux. It’s just not pop in the cd and go.

    I think sun is going the right route by not going linux. Linux users have talked about linux being the future for 20 years now, and it really isn’t anything closer now than it was 20 years ago. It’s an os for the hardcore nerds, and that’s evidently how it stays, for some reason. Not cause it sucks, but because the majority of users are hackers and people who love tinkering with software..

    It’s a pity that Macromedia doesn’t support FreeBSD- there’s no Flash version for *BSD.

    futur IS linux! Sun should stop developing solaris and rather start joining the world of linux more fully, if you can’t beat them..

    I’ve been a Unix sysadmin for ten years working primarily with Solaris. Unfortunately, I am forced to conclude that Sun’s customer support is going to shit. Many of their system analysts are unqualified. Their field engineers have been reduced to FRU-swapping drones. And the recent Solaris 10 telnet hole shows Sun also lacks attention to detail on the OS front. Very sad.

    Transparency? Innovation? Yeah, that’s cool, that’s why I use Linux.
