Its a question of preference. Solaris is a far superior OS in the kernel etc. Userland it just isn't. Nexenta is a really nice bridge between the two. Frankly, if you need to get hot around the collar about this issue its alright.
I think the point being made is that some things in "GNU land" aren't necessarily better, they're just what some folks are used to. I started using Linux in 1996 from what I remember, and honestly, there isn't much difference between "GNU land", the various BSDs, and Solaris. While I think the existing Solaris userland could be improved in some areas, I don't think it is nearly as bad as some people make it out to be. Sometimes there are more better ways of doing things that don't involve a convenient command-line option and fit with the UNIX philosophy. -- "Less is only more where more is no good." --Frank Lloyd Wright Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
