Hang on did I not read that Sun were giving up on Solaris and is
turning to Linux so give it a couple of years and Solaris will be
legacy.
Hmm oh hang on what is actually happerning is Sun are thinking about
releasing Solaris under GPL and so we will end up with a sort of
Solaris/Linux/BSD high breed could be very intresting certainly an
area to watch.... ie pick your kernel and your software depending on
what your application is and what works best.
