You’d have to be out of your mind to want anything to do with proprietary unix variants at this point.

I disagree, you use the right tool for the right job.. If for no other reason than the hardware they tend to run on sometimes an OS like AIX or Solaris is the right too.

Why?

I’ve got greater stability and a smaller footprint.

It’s faster(higher performance) too.

Just completed a Solaris Admin course, we had a Linux guru in our class. He believed that eventually Sun's going to ditch Solaris for Linux. The instructor (Solaris and Linux certified) was skeptical - he said that Solaris had a smaller footprint and Sun had too much invested in it. Led to some good discussions.
