The vast majority of operating system reviews are the result of a user spending a few days or weeks using a particular operating system and writing about their observations. This review is the result of my continued use of Solaris 10 (previously Solaris Express) from August 2003 to February 2005.

I just tried solaris 10 yesterday, and I must say I'm impressed. Had the same hardware setup as my fedora box and it did seem a little faster (though as everyone seems to be noting the boot time is very slow). JDS3 is very nice, and dtrace is one of the best utilities ever. Not as usable (read less applications, bad package management) as linux currently, but it seems very well suited for mission-critical applications, or java development.
