It might be easier to go the other way. Who knows? We can start looking Q2 2005, presumably. > Anybody have any experience with Solaris? Does it have any advantages > over Linux for a workstation? Lots of us do. It seems to be more stable on multiprocessor machines. >From a user's point of view -- on a workstation -- there's probably not a lot of difference. Solaris seems to run better than Linux on SPARC hardware, but once it's set up, the user can't really tell that much difference. The question runs both ways -- now that solaris will be "open", is there any advantage to running Linux? > Also of note is that Gentoo has ported Portage to Solaris (and thus > OpenSolaris).

But perhaps we're going to end up with "the operating system doesn't matter, it's just a platform to run your package manager on" kinda world, and instead of having Linux distribution holy wars, we'll have just plain old distribution holy wars.
