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 :-(


Its also missing the compartmentalisation of the kernel need to get B2 (or
better) security.
You don't notice that until you can't sell your system into the places with
cash.
