If Sun gets very serious about Solaris 10 on x86 and the Open Solaris project that it hopes will nourish it, Linux vendors had better get very worried. That's because, in the many areas where Linux is miles ahead of Solaris, Sun stands a good chance of catching up quickly if it has the will, whereas in the many areas where Solaris is miles ahead, the Linux community will be hard pressed to narrow the gap.

You say it's sarcasm, I say it's a valid question. I'm not a Solaris zealot, lambasting someone for saying it doesn't have a good installer. I was attempting to ask the poster why he felt the installer wasn't good. Nobody gets anywhere by saying "program x's installer sucks, but program y's is good"... you need to find out why it's not good. That's all I was attempting to find out. There was no sarcasm (nor none intended) in my post.

I believe that was sarcasm.
