SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 and Solaris 10 on x86
Sun Microsystems has positioned Solaris 10 on x86 (written Solaris 10/x86) as an alternative to Linux. On the surface, Sun appears to have a reasonable story to spin around Solaris 10/x86 in comparing it to Linux. Sun hypes its allegedly lower support costs, the Solaris feature set and indemnification. However,...
