Knock yourself out, but there's plenty of other bonafide US Unix products already as far as I'm concerned, and I won't be wasting any of my time with foreign born knockoffs being pushed on us by socialists. If you don't like Microsoft why not give Apple a try? Or if you want Unix on Intel, Sun is releasing a new version of Solaris with cutting edge technology you won't find in Linux. You can even download it for free if cost is a priority. Simply put there's no reason to promote GPL software or its founders that jeapordize the US software industry, with their lies about Linux capability and the shell games their vendors play on Wall Street. Have a good evening.

Used Apple, not a fan.  Actually, I like Microsoft, I am just open to other possibilities.  Also, I do software development and am looking to freelance again soon and don't want to turn down potential projects just because it's a Linux server and not MS.

Hmm given some of the problems he was having involved installing the official AIM client can you tell me if there is a solaris package? Ive don a ton of admin work on Solaris 7-9 and I can tell you that if you think RPM and dependency problems on linux are hell youll just love the solaris package tools.. /sarcasm

I like solaris but after using the x86 versions I think Ill hold off for a bit (talk about limited driver support). Also all the neat features on solaris ten are kinda useless on an intel architecture.

You mean that operating system based on a UNIX knock-off, chock-full of foreign free software?
