It is early
I have been involved with Linux since it was first available as a development
only release. This length of time predates Solaris and extends back into the
SunOS days, so I feel I am in a position to offer good feedback.
Solaris x86 never really caught on because few commercial packages were offe

No, you're not the only one. --options are completely uneccessary

I sincerely hope such perver

No. Real admins check if the shell they want to run exists, and if it does, do

Well on powerfull aspect of solaris command recall using the vi is the ability
to search and execute a command which is e.g. 20 in the history list with a

Funny how one camp goes in a frenzy over commandline editing in an
*interactive* shell while the other camp defends those choices by referring to
backwards compatibility for scripts.

One technical difference is that cursor keys and command line editing and
completion generally works out of the box in Linux and it generally doesn't in
Solaris. I hope OpenSolaris will finally fix that usability issue so that it

Yes, technical issues. What else should we be interested?
Having gone through most of the variants of Linux, it seems me that the
Fedora/RHEL combo is an excellent development model that can be followed by
OpenSolaris/Solaris. Discussions on the technical merits of
