SUN Microsystems Sun is keener than ever to port Linux to its new multicore T1 chip, even if it's not expected to happen for six to nine months. The company has made T1 servers available to Linux developers and is working with unnamed Linux distributors to develop the port. And while a port may be completed this year, it will be a while before Linux on T1 appears in production environments; application certification and support will be needed as well.

And most of that is desktop features which I can care less about. How about fine grained Resource Controls and Containers. In other words features that are important to administrators! the last time I looked, Linux only supported processor sets, which is a far cry from Solaris' controls.
