Well the way I see it.... Both are the same ;) But where are you going to find Solaris admin's if you had to replace someone? Linux admins are already hard enough to find. Its like my boss loves HP-UX, but if you had to hire someone, could you name more than 2 people that aren't already happily employed. Same with Solaris. Sure you can get most linux admin's and have them swtich in and learn how to work it no problem, but how do you explain that to the CIO/CFO/CTO and them not say...."just get someone with RedHat Certification and switch to Redhat cause we can hire them".
Sometimes its not always what works best, but what is easier to support. Like for small office of 20-30 people....easier to outsource someone to run your windows servers, than to setup some linux install in Telecom, its still very much big iron/sun/old stuff. But if the place isnt entrenched in their systems, its changing away. -- -Kevin "You can't turn a pig into a thoroughbred, but if you spend enough time and money, you sure can make a mighty fast pig" On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 2:15 PM, Brian <brian.schna...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Ok..I'm ready to start a war :-) haha > A buddy of mine who works for a communications co. says that Solaris > is way more stable for mission critical servers than linux.
