Yes. This is another reason to switch to Linux. On this platform most applcations for Unix-like systems will be supported. And on Solaris when you need some program not from top 100 list ( for example, fsvs, a lot of user applications), you more often should dance with tambourines and dig into application code to make it work... > Personally, I have moved off of other UNIX systems > and UNIX system like systems, mostly because of zfs, > but found the other reasons described as reasons to > stay (even if the other systems are getting some of > the features).
I would consider Solaris/OpenSolaris for new deployments if it had free updates. Otherwise for me it is unnecessary waste of money for support (at least, at campus). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
