It would be interesting to know what reasons you have for preferring Linux over Solaris in your environment. I know that there are all sorts of arguments either way, but it's always good to hear things straight from the customer!


Linux is just a better desktop platform choice these days. For example,
if a new version of KDE comes out on Linux I can just get the binaries.
On Solaris I get to compile it myself.

Binaries for Solaris are distributed from a number of different places. Security-conscious sites (if there are any left!) will build from source anyway, but the notion that Solaris binaries are somehow unavailable is bunk. They're just not found in the same places as the Linux binaries.
