Hi, then you will be much more happy with OpenSolaris on whole disk and Linux in zone or VirtualBox or Linux on whole disk and OpenSolaris in some VM. I use a lot of systems similar way. All I need is enough RAM. It's very handy. You have everything you need without reboots.
BTW which Unix you mean? You can choose BSD, Linux, Apple, Solaris, .... it doesn't matter as common utilities like tar, cp, ls, cat, tr, sort, uniq, date, cal,top and many, many others are quite same. If you mean this one http://www.opengroup.org/certification/unix-home.html then it's only marketing term. In production you can find more and more Linux systems or BSD systems because of price of HP-UX and IBM AIX so no chance for you to play with it in VM or on your computer, Apple has more and more desktop market share, but you can't have it for free and then there is Solaris/OpenSolaris. So from this list forgot about HP-UX and IBM AIX either because of price or because you can't learn it without contact with it. If you want something for desktop then Apple with Mac Os X is fine, but not free. So Solaris/OpenSolaris in the end :-) OpenSolaris dev build because of updates, virtualization so you can have your Linux in zone or VirtualBox and with that you can avoid lack of pack ages. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
