Sun Solaris, OpenSolaris If Sun gets very serious about Solaris 10 on x86 and the Open Solaris project that it hopes will nourish it, Linux vendors had better get very worried. That's because, in the many areas where Linux is miles ahead of Solaris, Sun stands a good chance of catching up quickly if it has the will, whereas in the many areas where Solaris is miles ahead, the Linux community will be hard pressed to narrow the gap.

Linux has little to fear yet.

Solaris wont even install on my PC which does run Windows, BSD, Linux, BEOS etc.. So I doubt if Linux needs to worry much yet.
It is good though to be able to learn Solaris on inexpensive hardware, as I am sure it is a great server and not having to buy a very heavy slow overpriced box will help...
