Please don't compare Solaris with FreeBSD. It depends on your situation... as a rough guide: Solaris is good for supercomputing... FreeBSD is just too good for anything other than that e.g. if you are talking about oracle/mysql/web apps FreeBSD rocks but Solaris domain is DB2.. so both have value it really depends on what you want. rgds, On Sun, Jun 23, 2002 at 01:43:48AM -0700, Steve Warwick wrote: > Hi All, > > Sorry for the off topic post but I am interested to get some different > opinions on the "which is better FreeBSD or Solaris?" topic.
