haha, using bad langauge in lieu of brain cells, way to prove a point. Ever wonder why Solaris patch sets are so big they're are called "monster patches"? I work with huge metro and county government Sun datacenters and have seen kernel panics, kernel bugs stopping production, exhuastion of kernel resources due to config values, etc. Interesting Sun's UFS isn't used on SAN data disks, usually Veritas file system. So you've one hard working box that's doing ok, good for you. Get hundreds of them and you'll start seeing the issues I've mentioned. Solaris does have more security issues than OpenBSD, and locking a box down has quite a few more steps.
let's not feed urban legends: Solaris has its problems with various threading models than can also cause kernel panic, like LWP with some libraries. Depending on how kernel resources are set, one can run out of all kinds of needed stuff and the machine will sieze up tighter than, er, lead in a pencil

you must be joking, Sun's Solaris can't keep up with opensource OS, so they open sourced it to try to get some free developer mindshare. The biggest clusters on the planet don't run Solaris, and half the exciting features promised for Solaris 10 are still vaporware at this point. Sun has jumped onto the Opteron bandwagon, because UltraSparc lags in performance. Once Opteron gets to 16 or 32 way with dual cores, there's no compelling reason to use UltraSparc for any application.
when I was a kid I gave myself a tiny but really bad RF burn on my finger from radio I was building, after putting finger in mouth I found cooked human finger tastes like a combination of ham and ribeye steak
OS x only needs to worry about a MINUTE handful of different machines and relatively small number of device drivers, while there's a multitude of different x86 machines and thousands of devices, not to mention non-x86 ones. Apple also pays for proprietary info to make some of it's stuff work, while Linux developers don't always get support from manufacturers. Speaking of stability, OS X doesn't have it.
my Xeon workstation has some win-sound card built in, and for the first time it made music after I installed SuSE 10 - never before used my main server for multimedia but now I can. Later that night it scared me again with BSOD screensaver finally coming up in the random selection. I also installed it on my Thinkpad T22 with wireless linksys card, it's all good. Used to be a paying RedHat customer from RH 5.0 to 8, but "crossed over" to SuSE at 9.0 and haven't looked back.

I just have/dev/null in my.forward file, since if it's really an urgent matter the sender is going to come and see me later or maybe phone me and immediately get routed to my voicemail (which I manage with a philosophy similar to that of my email). Always remember all technology, including your employer's, is for your comfort and convenience, not anyone elses.
bah, the government can give many 100's of MHz away that it's squatting on...this is just a smokescreen for taking away people's rights of fair use, for media monopolists with fat politicians and judges in their pocket to squeeze more money out of us by controlling and charging for each and every viewing of content.

forget? they're next , since they've obviously got their WMD programs *very* well hidden! And we can't let their continued efforts to dominate world kolacky and periogi production continue unchecked!
do you understand they've built a kind of mafia and monopoly, and they have politicians and judges in they're back pocket. Saying it would go away if people didn't want it is very naive, kind of like saying Republican neo-cons will go away because most people don't like what they're doing
Sounds just like Bagdad Bob and Saddam, there is no Polar Lander, there never was a Polar Lander. Inspections for the Polar Lander have failed and are going nowhere. I say we gather a coalition of the willing and invade now to find all the Polar Landers, lest they be used against us!
plenty of gui admin tools for linux and the common Unix(tm) these days, some even mostly useful. If the boss likes gui fooey then can impress him with those, whether or not the people doing the real work use the cstuff. As money gets tighter, eye candy will become less important and actual productivity and ease/speed of administration valued. Those who have a maintenance intensive infrastructure will suffer.
funny to see Microsoft realizing that it's web server offerings have "the bloat". But that's also a huge problem for appliances and high performance computing applications. Writing apps for an API on top of The Bloat is painful too, even with IDE code wizards. And what to do when the Bloated Black Box doesn't behave or act the way you were expecting?
'cause only a moron runs Windows on a laptop anyway. Anyone with brains is going to blow away that Microsoft supplied glorified program loader, and install a real operating system
er, the numbers 8 in the first sentence came from the parent post to which I was replying. I then in the second sentence make reference to something that happened even further in the past. Doing random arithmetic on numbers in various sentences (and coming up with an incorrect answer as you did) does not a good rebuttal make. I swear, the quality of the trolls and AC posting in slashdot has certainly declined in the 21st century. You could all be earning large salaries architecting Bush's foreign and economic policy with the randomly disconnected firings of your addled neurons, but instead you're here. tsk, tsk.

Two more years to do that and it'll be way too late. Really, almost everything around the kernel would have to be gutted & replaced with something.
