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.

Why has this become yet another thread on fonts and install methods (its because of getting source packages duh) instead of actually discussing the article in question?
My question if the reviewer is listening is what benefit does Solaris have for using for a home user vs. using Linux? From what I understand its so limited in software that all it runs is Sun's Star Office, some java apps and server software - which begs the question -- why a desktop solution if its main job is still server?? /boggle
More specific: what benefit would Solaris bring to me by using it as the OS for my Folding@Home dedicated computers over Damn Small Linux which is what they are using now? That's a small specific science like use that these alternative OS's typically find their nitch in.
thanks,
Rob
