Runrev and Sun Solaris

[Damien Girard]

Hi Pierre,

Sun Solaris 10 is a really great improvement compared as older Solaris 
release, for me, I like solaris because this OS is unbreakable (if you 
haven't got a root password), (not software who are around) and Solaris 
is hard like a rock.
I have tried FreeBSD, and I found that Solaris is more advanced than 
FreeBSD (dtrace, Solaris containers, smf are great).
Suse Linux 9.3 (Mandriva and Fedora) are more advanced for a desktop use 
for now, but in the futur, with OpenSolaris, Solaris can become also
advanced like linux in the desktop. (But, I found that SunOS is more 
advanced than Linux).
For example: There are now an OpenSolaris KDE Team. 
http://dot.kde.org/1121719390/

And Solaris 10 haven't got for now all his features, the ZFS filesystem 
will be probably the best filesystem ever made (for me) because Sun have 
acquired
StorageTek, and the Janus project will be also very great (Run any linux 
software under the Solaris OS).

Solaris need some thing for now, but the most important is: graphic 
drivers.
NVidia provide graphics driver for Solaris, and is it really great. When 
the Janus project will release, you can run any linux game (or Windows 
game with Cedega)
under Solaris.
ATI doesn't provide any driver for now, but I am waiting (because I have 
got an ATI card).

For me (and for a lot of other people), Sun Solaris is the most advanced 
UNIX Operating system.

There is one problem with Solaris compared to recent linux distrobution, 
is it configuration tools who contains a GUI. And Runrev is made for that.
If there is a Runrev for Solaris, I will today write GUI for the 
OpenSolaris OS, and permit to all users and administrators in the world 
to use Solaris/OpenSolaris.. (OpenSolaris is the Solaris OS but fully 
OpenSource, Solaris OS provide only support, this look like RedHat 
enterprise Linux and RedHat Fedora Core.).

And OpenSolaris will quickly become better, because there are Sun, who 
work on OpenSolaris, and the Open-Source community.

Is it my view of Solaris,

Thanks for your votes.

Regards,

Damien
