I use both quite regularly, and there isnt one thing that I can do on Linux, and not on OS. The device drivers/ installing are the barriers I've faced, where linux outperforms, but once installed, the box simply works. BTW, do you ever read slashdot threads tagged 'opensolaris'. Zealousness at its highest, I tell you ! Nice :)

Look who is talking. First it was the superiority of the technology. Then it was about code. Then it was about the License. Now it has come down to the "number of users". So what is the point ? That you are going to keep inventing excuses to avoid entering a zone of discomfort - even if it could be an enlightening experience ? This is not about winning or losing the argument or being on the right side of a popular philosophy. This is about learning, and your courage to circumvent self mobilized impediments. In that sense, you ain't any different from the M$ W$ user who will detest Linux because he is afraid of what he doesn't understand. No offense :-) Whoa ! Look who is talking.

Who cares if the opensolaris code is more readable ? Linux plainly outnumbers slowaris. Hey, and I didn't lose the argument THAT badly buster ;-) Satire is best inflicted on audience that cannot appreciate it. Who cares if the opensolaris code is more readable ?
