Right now I'm still running Solaris 8. My reaction to this new report on free Solaris 10 is that I still plan to move all of my work, as much as possible anyway, to Linux in the near future. Solaris is very solid, but I don't know why I would prefer it to Linux - can anyone tell me? For one, I have purchased computers and components from Sun Microsystems in the past and they really priced them high. With Linux on a good Intel system, you can get a lot more bang for the buck. They think that by selling their OS for free, they will be able to sell more of their servers. Well, I'll never buy another one. I think they waited too long to do this and it's just too late for them. Best, Mike -- Michael B.
