Well, I'm not technically savy to actually argue over this with real data, but I have this feeling that Solaris has better SMP support and threading that what Linux currently has. The idea of running an Open Source OS because, well, it's open and I like the way it works for me though, would probabyl be enough to have me running either Linux or NetBSD on a SPARC instead of Solaris. -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
