Yeah, I've been testing that for almost a year now, but I did the final
switch this weekend and it's really stable (so far, knock-on-wood :).
Hardware support for Nexenta/OpenSolaris was hideous, now it's worse
and getting worse every day.
Oracle killed OpenSolars.
No matter. There's illumos which will take over the stick and possibly
make something even better.
My Nextena boxes were never as reliable as my Linux machines either;
Hmm, that's weird. Is/was there a difference between OpenSolaris and
Solaris?
I'm much, much happier with Linux.
I guess we have exact opposite feelings towards kernels....
I don't know how long you've been working with Linux or *Solaris, my
experience with Solaris IS, to be fair, very random and short. BUT,
I've been working professionally with Linux since late '92 (yes, about
a year after the first release! :). And I've loved it, mainly as server
OS.
What I really don't like with Linux, and this is reasonably resent
feeling,
even though I've know about it from day one... It's the fact that Linux
really, really suck under very, very heavy load!
Load a Linux machine with load of >= 15 and it's more or less
non-responsive,
and it gets worse the higher load you get until it finally crash or
locks
up...
On a the few machines Solaris (these beeing 'real' Solaris, not
OpenSolaris
machines on SPARC) I've dealt with, basically no matter how much you
load
it, it's still fairly responsive. At least you'll be able to login to
try
to find out what's wrong...
