I do not agree completely with the last sentence. I know that Sun will
eventually drop support for the SunOS system. So a new Sun user should
go with the latest Solaris 2.x IMHO. The only question is in regard to
AFS support. Does Transarc now have AFS running on Solaris 2.x and if
so is the quality up to "production" level?
