Hi,

I've been asked how Solaris x86 stacks up, particularly when compared to
Linux.

I know how great Linux is, so please, no advocacy.

What I want to know is the pros and cons of Solaris x86. I have used
Solaris x86 many moons ago and remember that it compared favourably to the
SPARC systems, but we had problems on the install.

Cheers,

Raymond
