I am so far from knowledgable about the differences between the
various Solaris branches is the only reason for asking this question.
I'd like to hear a bit about the pro's of hipster as compared to
Solaris 11.3. Maybe a few pointer showing where the real differences
are and what they mean.
Maybe a bit about how well either one is supported, too.
I'm not much knowledgeable either, but here is how I see it:
- Price (main advantage of Hipster):
Solaris 11: Very expensive annual subscription
Hipster: Free
- Source code availability (I see no difference here, as I don't want to
build OS from source):
Solaris 11: Closed source
Hipster: Open source
- Development and support manpower (Solaris 11 wins here):
Solaris 11: Backed by a large corporation
Hipster: Developed and supported by a small group of enthusiasts
- Technical differences:
As the two operating systems go their own ways, differences will
increase in the future.
