You may argue about the desktop and gui bloatware but the underlying
kernel is as good as or better than any unix.


As someone who is migrating from Solaris to RedHat at the moment, it
might be good, but it's certainly not Solaris :-)

Missing dtrace and zfs the most. Maybe the top notch Sun/Oracle support
as well :-(


We have zfs and dtrace upstairs - at least in my office! FreeBSD though..
