Wee I run the Intego Virus Barrier stuff even though I have locked my Mac down tighter than a nun's backside. But my company will only let me VPN from a non-Windows box if I can say I have anti-virus software in place...I ask you
I am a Mac head myself and I am starting to worry about this. Whilst pulling in a torrent of the latest OSX to run on Apple hardware barely hurts Apples bottom line running it on any old box probably will.
Please no draconian "activation" scheme a-la Windows.
The innovation that has come out of Dell is to sell cheap shite which is customised to an extent in that you can exchange one shite part for another without the need to talk to some uninformed goon in a strip-lighted shop somewhere.
My mother just looks at there adds that says you can buy a computer with a "new" flat screen with some printer for £499.
It never occurs to her that it is cheap shite and the printers they give away charge 25 quid for a cartridge every 10 minutes.
SMF, new IP stack, zones (whilst not true virtualisation is a good start) blah blah blah
Whilst I am no cheerleader for Sun. I think some hardware lines are poor - I do SA callout work on Solaris/Linux and it has kept me up a few times. Solaris is a quality rock-solid OS.
Whilst this is more of a development tool than an SA tool it can help SA's (I am a professional one with RHEL also).The IO profiling alone is now so easy to debug rather than go through veritas' vxtrace/vxstat for example
The TCP/IP stack is nice, as is SMF.
Although you can go to Sun's site to find out. I am no cheerleader for them.
The sad fact is that if you left you front door open and an address available to pretty much everyone across the globe how soon do you think someone would come through to steal stuff ?

It works OK, but only has one FPU per-chip. The next iteration will fix this apparently.
Which country would that be then. Explain yourself !

Thats the joke that sailed way over your head and smacked into the wall.

What no Microsoft ?!?!
Each to their own. I reckon dtrace, RBAC, and zones have some aspect of usefulness. The new IP stack could be one to watch as well.
The Darwin kernel is opensource already

You're new here aren't you ?
For those pendants it's also arrogant to expect English to be the posters first language.
VCS is so far removed from Sun Cluster (most of the agents are scripts etc) it's not even funny.
You can patch it upgrade the OS and re-import/introduce your application/data volumes and just start things up.
It's one of the advantages over Linux - not that there are that many...

I believe word is ongoing on a PPC port of Open Solaris.
None of which is on topic at all, but hey this is /.

And for all:- Doesn't play OGG files. It's the future apparently.

The company that I work for (huge/global etc). Whilst migrating some things to RHEL is leaving a lot of stuff on Solaris (currently 10000+ systems).
Developers are attending special courses on Dtrace and they love it I think the benefits will be remarkable.
If you see what this can do in a real-world scenario you will be suprised.

It probably includes QT7 or something. I just downloaded in for OS X and it's only 14mb
Most people don't run Windows XP in their server rooms.

Not that I like it, but until a (worthy) competitor to Exchange arrives I wouldn't hold your breath.
Oh wait...
