Sun adds goodies to OpenSolaris 2008.11
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux is popular, in part, because it is not only free, but distributed in a
| usable form and for the most recent hardware available on the market. So to
| compete with Linux, and to get an edge on other commercial Unixes (which are
| not open source or freely distributed), Sun Microsystems is emulating the
| distribution methods employed by the Fedora and openSUSE development
| communities, which create the code that eventually becomes the commercially
| supported releases from Red Hat and Novell, respectively.
|
| The difference is this: Sun will actually support OpenSolaris in a commercial
| environment through paid support contracts, while neither Red Hat nor Novell
| do so with their development releases. (Ubuntu has a much more sensible
| approach, supporting all of its releases and offering long-term support for
| users who want to install the software and not mess with it much for a couple
| of years.)

Sabre Holdings: Red Hat Thrives in Place of Unix
,----[ Quote ]
| When Sabre actually benchmarked Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) running on
| Intel against Solaris on SPARC, it found quite a difference — to say the
| least. The Linux/Intel combination was three times faster than the Sun Unix
| solution, and when both licensing and hardware costs were taken into account
| it worked out about 90 percent cheaper, according to Wiseman.
