Sun Solaris, OpenSolaris "So, you're tired of Windows and thinking of trying Linux. There are lots of good distros, RedHat or Novell have all the enterprise cred you might need. And there's a support community too, it's a no brainer... Well, that's all true enough – but why not try Solaris - in its OpenSolaris form - too? It's just as available, at Open Solaris.org, where there's a pretty active community going."

Actually it's called System Tap (not trap), and does not currently do anything in user space, where a large number of developers do their work.

Your comment about Slowaris is simply showing your ignorance, you do know that the term was coined when Sun released Solaris 2.0 and things were substantially slower than on Solaris 1 (SunOS 4), don't you?

Were you also aware that Solaris has come an awful long way since then, for example have a look at http://blogs.sun.com/bmseer/entry/update_solaris_beating_linux_perf...
