I'm calling BS about his freezing issue. Perhaps he should RTFM. Though given Solaris' age and Sun's incredible programming talent I'm not surprised it's a winner.

PING! This might be of interest to you. I know you have experience with both operating systems.

I'd trust Solaris FAR before I'd trust Linux. I'd trust AIX before either.

'Course, he's running Gentoo--nobody else can tell what his system is doing.

I don't know about the OS, but it was a terrible movie (both the Russian and American version)...

There was a kernel bug in Redhat which if you had a database server or other hog with insufficient memory kswapd would go nuts. You would lose the box for 15-20 seconds, nothing was logged. It was easy enough to fix by using sysctrl.conf but you took a hit in performance for it.
Solaris is a great solid OS, and I would buy Suns hardware running it any day but they have not shown enough long term commitment to the x86 platform for me.
Solaris was the better OS pre kernel 2.4, but its so close to a draw now I concern myself more with the upgrade paths than the performance..
