Just because I keep myself atop of many UNIX developments doesn't mean I prefer anything but Linux. Heck, if you want to demonize me, just pick up Samba Unleashed and complain why I largely wrote non-Linux sections on BSD and Solaris (i.e., the Linux sections had largely been done when I was offered). Heck, I'm regularly demonized as pro-BSD, pro-Linux, pro-Microsoft, pro- Red Hat, pro-Gentoo, pro-Debian, pro-Sun as well as anti of all those and more. Why? Because people want to make blind alignments whereas I _refuse_ to do so. So if you want to make such bigotry statements, then I need not even discuss. With that said, I only said that Solaris lets you monitor the interconnect better. I never said Solaris is better in general. Yes, recent benchmarks in LJ and others have shown that for the _Opteron_, Solaris has been used to segmented memory/IO on SPARC and has some benefits that Linux focus has not been directed towards. But that's another detail, and one I don't think Linux will have a problem exceeding in the short term as Opteron systems are more commonplace. -- Bryan J.
