OpenSolaris vs. Linux, For Linux Users

Posted by timothy on from the give-it-a-whirl dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With Sun busy being swallowed up by Oracle, should Linux geeks pay any interest to OpenSolaris? TuxRadar put together a guide to OpenSolaris's most interesting features from a Linux user's perspective, covering how to get started with ZFS and virtualisation alongside more consumer-friendly topics such as hardware and Flash support."

    Bullshit.

    ...release it under GPL 3 and I'll give it a go.

    Until it's at least compatible with GPL licensing, forget it.

    I haven't tried it on a diskless system, but I didn't really have any issues installing Debian on the Sunfire servers (all were headless).

    Ah, thank you. I was waiting for that.

    A Slashdot comparitive analysis of Linux and another operating system, simply isn't legitimate, until we've had a Debian fanboy writing a, "REMEMBER DEBIAN TOO!!!!1!1" post.

    It's a Slashdot tradition.
