Basically, I'd chose BOTH for server solutions. If you had to chose only one server solution, I'd chose OpenSolaris.
Why? You have the solutions provided by the Solaris ISVs and IHVs as well as the solutions CentOS provides (either through a VM environment or otherwise). A few years ago, I would have said CentOS. Now, OpenSolaris is becoming one of the major players in open source free OS solutions. You also get free expertise and support from Blastwave.org, Sunfreeware, pkgsrc team, Schillix, Nexenta, Belenix, Genunix, and many other developers and product/sales/program/project managers experience in Linux/*BSD/BSDI/IRIX/HP-UX....(you get the idea?!?). Professional solutions right at your doorstep or virtual portal. Not many free "OS" solutions or commercial ones provide you with that level of service in user forums or scholastic environments. ~ Ken Mays ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't get soaked.
