With a (relatively) big advertising campaign SUN promoted Solaris 10 (also known as SunOS 5.10). Referring to SUN, with the "revolutionary" JAVADesktop 2 and a lot of new features and improvements, Solaris 10 should be the best OS today. Solaris is free for SPARC owners and for private use or evaluation purpose it's also freely available on the x86. While Solaris actually is kind of a legend, I thought "Hu, this could be an interesting alternative on my PC". Thought, went on and downloaded the ISOs. Read on to see how an average user (me) have experienced Solaris.
Filesystems: My guess was that the two roots see different hierarchies under "/". Is that correct? How do the hierarchies relate?
Processes: My guess was that the two roots see different process sets when they run "ps" (whichever variant shows *all* processes). Is that correct? How do the two process sets relate?
