- I seriously think Solaris 10 is the best general purpose OS out
there. Microsoft stumbles more and more and offers weaker
technology. I haven't run Linux for several years. I'm simply not
impressed by Linux, especially as it compares Solaris w/ ZFS. Solaris
also has the best documentation. Add to these considerations -
Hypervisor and Solaris really should be growing at a pretty steady
rate. I don't see a better alternative out there.
