This paper tries to compare Linux vs. Solaris. Its author comes to many conclusions, among which this is one of the more interesting: "All-in-all Solaris is a powerful, stable, conformant-to-standards OS that can run many open source applications as well as Linux, and some (mainly multithreaded applications) better than Linux. Like in the cases of Red Hat and Suse, the cost of support is extra, but it is more reasonably priced. Security patches are free which makes Solaris similar to Windows."

I actually think Solaris is a better kernel, I just think the author is talking nonsense. I am not a "Linux geek" and I'm frankly offended by the suggestion that I'd be so childish and biased.. Read my second comment below: as it turned out I couldn't stop myself, and wasted some more of my time reading this trash.
I haven't even looked at the article yet, but given by the amount quoted here, the original author of the article doesn't have the slightest clue about holding an adult level discussion about Linux vs. Solaris, even if suc war actually existed.
Red Hat vs. Sun - sure, Novell vs. Sun, sure, but Linux vs. Solaris? Please.
