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."

What the hell does that mean? Is Solaris a better Solaris than Linux then? ;)

Linux distributors aren't openly trying to court Solaris users in the same way as Sun are trying to openly court Linux users (in an extremely confused and haphazard manner), nor are they trying to copy the extensive and huge community Solaris has with their own Open*Insert OS where you don't get everything here* project.

That's the point he's making.
