I agree with everything Jill said, bar one:

It has been my experience and YMMV but Solaris is not too great a file
server, on SPARC hardware when compared to Linux on SPARC hardware.
Solaris is an excellent high-end application / database server but is
well out performed at the file sharing level.
My assumption on the performance difference I've found is simply that
Linux kernels are more tuned to file sharing at a workgroup /
enterprise level than the Solaris kernel is.
We have a linux kernel hacker or two here and a Solaris kernel hacker or
two as well. Any of you care to comment on this?
