There is a considerable performance and stability difference between Ubuntu and RHEL or Suse Enterprise Linux. -- 0000001010011010 - The sixteen bit word of The Beast. "May Darkness Consume You."

This is the inane discussion I've been talking about... Solaris is an OS developed by a single company, so of course Solaris is Solaris. Linux, however, is developed, packaged and distributed by a multitude of different companies, groups and individuals so, in the case of Linux, "Enterprise" is in no way nonsense. -- 0000001010011010 - The sixteen bit word of The Beast.

But the comparison was OpenSolaris vs. Ubuntu, wasn't it? What has that to do with RedHat or Novell versions? But OpenSolaris/Solaris is well up to a match against them both on performance and stability plus ease of administration, support and features.

Yes it was. > What has that to do with RedHat or Novell versions? Allow me to quote myself: "There is a considerable performance and stability difference between Ubuntu and RHEL or Suse Enterprise Linux." Any comparison of Linux and Solaris should be with a distribution of Linux that targets the business production environment not a distribution that's attempting to compete directly with Windows on look and feel. Unless a beauty contest is the core interest. > But OpenSolaris/Solaris is well up to a match against them both on > performance and stability plus ease of administration, support and > features. Of that I have no doubt, nor was it ever in question... I wouldn't say the same of Ubuntu however. -- 0000001010011010 - The sixteen bit word of The Beast. "May Darkness Consume You."
