Nice list. I've been waiting for SNL to get back on its feet for quite a
while.

As an occasional SCO/AIX/HP-UX user, long time Linux user that's just
starting to work with Solaris it's nice to know that the existence of both
OSs is apparently teetering on the edge of oblivion.

This same nimrod is probably writing the same FUD about Linux in the Linux
