In an effort to spur adoption of Solaris, Sun has begun a project code-named Indiana to try to give its operating system some of the trappings of Linux. The project is one of the items on the to-do list of Ian Murdock, founder of the Debian version of Linux and, as of March, Sun's chief operating systems officer. Though he wouldn't confirm the name of the project, Murdock - who's from Indiana - discussed the project's essence at the JavaOne conference here Monday, and Sun spokesman Russ Castronovo confirmed the name.

To be exact, Solaris is Unix. It is one of the few that can say that and be correct.
The only problem with Solaris is that the common home users or tinkerer has not tried it lately. Download the newest release and learn up a bit on the few oddities and there is little reason to consider a linux.
