  1. Who USES Solaris? by John+Whorfin · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Ok, this really isn't a troll, I'm really curious here: who actually *uses* Solaris?

    Solaris has IMHO been what you run other stuff on top of... Oracle for instance or some custom, mission critical app or something (or web servers if you have too much money). Solaris has always been a kind of painfull, stripped down OS when compared to modern Linux or *BSDs.

    But you don't actually USE Solaris. Do you?

    If so, why?
