[b][u][i]Solaris has always been good under load, something Linux falls with typically. It really wasn't until recentely that Linux could handle 2 CPUs, and the only reason it can *marginally* utilize 2 CPUs is due to Moore's Law, IMO. Running Linux on SMP systems is like running a Yugo on the autobaun. Ok, maybe a Yugo is not a good analogy...maybe it's like a Ford Probe with a bad cylinder.[/i][/u][/b]
I was specifically addressing what you said in an earlier post. It took me some real data and examples to get people to a point where they now agree that Linux isn't nearly as bad as what was claimed above, in fact it competes head to head with Solaris today. Sometimes it is lagging, sometimes it's leading. And believe me, if someone would have said something equally false about Solaris without numbers, proofs - I would have gone to the same length to prove how it's not true. And when I made a statement I always backed it up with numbers (SPEC, Solaris bug database for e.g.). I claimed FUD when people made false statements without proving them. Does Sun have anything to learn? Yes, learn to co-exist and live well with other OSS solutions. Don't start with a mindless aim of forcing Solaris on people at any and every cost and opportunity. OSS forums are not marketing commercials they do on TV where you advertise Pepsi against Coke - sometimes with help of great models and other times with purely non-provable claims. Let people drink what they like and what they believe suits them.
