Uhm, Comparing Solaris to ANY form of Linux is like saying, "Do you want to drive a Mercedes, or a Ford?" Give me a break. Solaris is top dog when compaired to Linux. Linux is a UNIX-like play thing. If you're serious about your switch, and have practical reasons, something other than "I hate Windows because it's sucks." Then choose Solaris, otherwise, you deserve Linux and all the headaches you'll get from the lack of understand about how Open Source is killing Linux.
