Solaris 9 x86 Review
ValourX writes "Here is a review of Solaris 9 x86, 08/03 edition. Now that the single-CPU edition is free to download for non-commercial use, people will be compelled to write a Solaris CD and try it out. Read this first -- there are a lot of things you should know before you begin. You might want to check out the documentation or explore other resources like the hardware compatibility list as well."
Shut up fuckhead. The SunFreeware packages SUCK DICK. Use the companion CD everyone, dont listen to this lazy puke who uses siht packages that install in /usr/local. The correct place for the "GNU/Shit" is /opt/sfw.
Fucking lunatic. You suck at adminning Solaris, shut your hole.
I can tell you are lying like a rug. Solaris 9 x86 - go ahead and exploit me a box anywhere in the wild and show me some rooted box. Do it. Show me the myriad of shells accounts you got root on Solaris x86.
What a crock of shit. The OS is solid, has a rea filesystem, has real support, has real NFS and sucks 100 times less than Lin-sux library-kernel-userland DU JOUR. And its fucking free. Something RedHate Enterprise Sevrer isnt.
Youd be a fucking moron not to choose a real OS over RedHat's build of the day Soup Du Jour OS with "support."
no, there is not a significant number of Solaris x86 "i have a big dick" desktop users.
I *live* solaris so I know when I hear bullshit. I dont need to justify to the Slashdot crowd who buys a fraudulent review of anything, you wont use solaris because you CANT, it doesnt have a GNU/Wizard interface. Go back to SuSE and YaST and RedHat, shoo shoo!
You have no idea what you are talking about. NONE whatsoever. You donthave a job, and no one woh knows anything about computing would ever pay you after hearing that SHIT.
he cant he is a know nothing fuckin retard.
Dork. It runs SMP. psrinfo -v
Its a licensing thing. They dont change the OS in any way. This isnt fucking Windows, they dont have time to mess with the OS to enforce lame licesnsing. Download onto SMP white hardware and enjoy. It works fine. psrinfo -v.
Freebsd destroys Linux. Linux 2.6 is horribly broken, and linux 2.4 is maintained by a 20 year old idiot. Sun is a huge fortune 500 company with a lot of brains. believe me $250 is too fucking cheap, be glad you get it for free.
lowest viable TCO. Since Linux is a fucking forever broken pice of shit run by dropouts and Brazil and UK losers, Sun is right. If you were fronting for *BSD, I'd listen. All you are is another Linux GNU/Faggot.
FUCK OFF, half assed nigger-rigged piece of shit
Back in the day, around FreeBSD 2.2.8, it was a very nice operating system. However, when RELENG_5 was branched, a lot of wrong decisions were made, most of them by people with zero clue about how to implement proper SMP (e.g. John Baldwin). Matt Dillon tried to fix the situation, but all he got in response was a commit bit suspension, which later lead to his expulsion.
You can thank assholes like: Poul-Henning Kamp (POT, KETTLE, BLACK), Greg Lehey, Dag-Erling Smorgrav, Mark Murray and Bill Fumerola for kicking him out and making sure that, thanks to overengineering, RELENG_5 will never work.
Further proof, FreeBSD recently went 100% dynamic to allow the use of NSS switch system. John Dyson, who did most of the VM work back in the day, pointed out how wrong this decision was. Dillon also jumped in and offered a better solution. What he got as reward was Scott Long telling him to go away. Listen Scott, YOU ARE A FUCKING IDIOT. Not only you don't even know how to quote, but you also managed to fuck the 5.1-R isos twice. I wonder how can you be in re@, that sure has lead to the piss-poor quality of the last 2 or 3 releases.

17367Sir, you are completely full of shit. Not only do I work at Sun, but I also exclusively use gcc and gnu binutils for creation and compilation of OSS I run on Solaris x86. There is NO problem at all. Go back to your mam and suckle a little more. Maybe then you'll learn not to throw around so much crap.
