Solaris 10 sparc/intel  or linux ?


Not trying to start arguments, Just want to understand how others making
their decisions ?

For me, I think Solaris 10 has following technical advantages over
linux(RH) camp 1. Dtrace to help on problem finding.
2. Faster TCP/IP stack(rewrote and improved in Solaris 10).
3. Very rock solid stable.
4. Commercial support avaiable from Sun if needed.
5. Solarish has no  OS seat-license(RH Linux has it).


Thanks for your time
