   You obviously have no experience with Solaris pre-2.7.

   Solaris is excellent, I run it on some of my most important (i.e., my 
income depends on them) machines.  But when Sun started ramming it down 
our throats, say around release 2.3, it *sucked*.  It ran in short 
spurts between crashes (averaged about twenty minutes' run time) and it 
was damn near impossible to get any software built on it.  It became 
somewhat usable in 2.5.1, half decent in 2.6, approaching nice in 2.7, 
damn good in 2.8, and AWESOME in 2.9.
