Linux and Solaris are quite different when it comes to kernel 
strategies.  Linux documents and stabilizes its kernel interfaces 
while Solaris does not document its kernel interfaces, but focuses on 
stable shared library interfaces.  Most Linux system APIs have a 
direct kernel API equivalent but Solaris often uses a completely 
different kernel interface.  Segmentation faults in user applications 
are generally due to user-space bugs rather than due to the kernel.
