I like Sun Solaris better

As a desktop OS?  That boggles my mind.  Solaris 10 is a good enterprise UNIX OS, but it is not a good desktop OS.  Sun's Java Desktop (Linux) is a better alternative for desktop computing, but if you are thinking of going the Linux route then I would recommend Ubuntu.

 

 

 

 

No. They made a desktop version (OpenSolaris) with GNOME and other Linux-like features. It's free software too. They're going to do a 6-month release cycle: OpenSolaris 2008.05 was out in May and OpenSolaris 2008.11 will be released in November.

 

Lol, that still doesnt make Solaris a good desktop operating system.  Good for Oracle, MySQL, and Web servers, yes.  Good for desktop usage, lol, not quite.

Feel free to add me ...
