Frankly, Linux is not on par with Solaris, and also Solaris is cheaper than
Linux, and still Linux prospers. The same with FreeBSD, which is more stable
and also free. Still it

I have to admit the state of Sun doesn't look too good right now, and that

server? The goal is to use ZFS and create a

Hi Everyone,
Not sure what is happening. Seems whenever I switch from my OpenSolaris snv110
server to windows and back it restarts the server. I have disabled sending

Can anyone shed some light on this? It's a belkin DVI KVM-switch.

Well, first off, with hardware you pretty much get what you pay for if you're
buying off-the-shelf gear. Yes, there are exceptions.
There's a reason that Dell is cheaper. For one example, I tried to used a Dell

Yup, it sounds like you're basically agreeing with the same thoughts I was
having. If Dell says solaris is supported and they sell it with their
server, probably it will be fine, although it might not perform as well as a
more expensive (Sun) server and
Given Sun's ability to look good to investors and Wall St. (other words, making

I doubt there will be lots of similar attempt in the future.
Now Sun is (almost) a walking dead in the middle of desert with vulture

I'd love it if anyone can point me onto anything concrete -
- Something that doesn't work right with Dell servers running solaris
- Some benchmark that indicates the dell isn't as good ..
- Some admin who uses solaris/Dell and says everything is fine ...
Or something concrete like that ...

Dude, listen to me. I work as a Linux and Windows 2003 administrator in a data

badly designed hardware, my life is a never ending nightmare! The hardware RAID
cards they use in their older servers are SO BAD
