He talks openly about a migration path, rather than saying the hardware
advantage.
I don't know why it is so hard to understand that quote ?
"Solaris is a better Linux than Linux" —Marc Andreessen
What did Marc Say?
* We originally planned to use Linux on Intel commodity hardware
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sun .. ?
* Solaris is a better Linux than Linux
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Solaris has similar economic and OpenSource advantages as Linux
* It's very easy to move from Linux to Solaris
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Solaris 10 reliability is a very big deal for us
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* Sun is now riding aggressive side of the price/performance curve
* With Sun hardware, we know everything has been tested and
integrated together
* With Solaris, we know if we need vertical scalability, we'll
actually be able to get it
I believe it is in English .. ;-)
As i understand, it just emphasises the fact Solaris runs better on
Sun's hardware than anything else, which i very much agree, and one of
the main reasons why whenever i buy server hardware my preference goes
to IBM than Sun, just because of the thought that Linux might not run
well on Sun hardware.
Well, it is at least true for gcc, gcc performs badly on Sparc machines
compared to Sun's closed compiler. And one of the many reasons why many
people _don't_ prefer to run Linux on Sparc machines.
