Solaris will get there, but the open aspect of solaris on intel is still fairly new, newer than .99 was at the time.

I've been running Linux since kernel 0.99pl13, I think it was, and
have had amazingly little trouble. Whereas I'm now sitting on $2k of
hardware that won't do what I wanted it to do under Solaris, so it's a
bit of a hot-button issue for me right now. I've never had to
consider Linux issues in selecting hardware (in fact I haven't
selected hardware, my linux boxes have all been castoffs originally
purchased to run Windowsx), whereas I made considerable efforts to
find out what should work and how careful I had to be, including
asking for advice on this list, and I have still ended up getting
screwed. Yeah, I'm a little bitter about this.
