Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y "Sun has purportedly gone out of its way to draw Linux developers to its hardware platform. Analysts even say that Sun has finally made peace with Linux. But if you look at their web site they appear to have a different story to tell as they attempt to build community support for Solaris10. Frankly, we believe Linux beats Sun in so many categories that we don't even have a race. While Sun wants you to 'get the facts' we notice that they persist in comparing Solaris10 to Red Hat's enterprise model. But that's not the only Linux out there."

Exactly quite misleading. Besides Linux doesn't really compete with Solaris is many areas.

Um Like 72 CPU 576GB RAM E25k's not to mention PC hardware doesn't compair to SUN hardware as far as reliability and robustness.

..having support for filesystems with attributes.

Okok, I admit I don't know how well this is supported in Solaris' ZFS right now, but ZFS should have attributes and Solaris should support it. Meanwhile, to my slight annoyance, Linux still hasn't implemented the imho most important innovation in filesystems design in the past decade, despite open source implementations being available.
