Quoting:While Linux (of one sort or another) is the default platform for a lot of such devices these days, Solaris is well regarded, rock solid, and has the virtue of being a single distro (so long as you ignore some of the minor ones that have cropped up, such as MilaX, BeleniX, NexentaCP, and SchilliX). The big difference on my hardware anyway is that MilaX and BeleniX actually boot and run. OpenSolaris, not so much. I haven't tried the latest build, but when I couldn't get the 2008.05 version to run on anything I owned, yet MilaX ran great and BeleniX ran, shall we say, acceptably, I knew OpenSolaris had quite a way to go. Since then, I've acquired a 1995-era Sparcstation 20. I'll write about that in the next month. |
