CentOS not being anything like the official Solaris release, I beg to differ. It is essentially what you can get with RHEL sans Redhat trademarks and direct Redhat support. Then there is Ubuntu. Linux may not be carrier grade but what it comes with more than makes up for its lack where carrier grade is not needed. Without that paid Sun support, official Solaris 10 is pretty much crippled against Centos, Ubuntu or even Fedora. Software management, drivers, development...the cards are stacked against free Solaris 10 and Open Solaris if you had to compete against others who use Linux and spend less energy on these three areas.
