I don't think a Linux user can be "really dumb". He/she would not run Linux, but a certain other system. :-) > 2) The trolls.

I think only the third group of people are really interested in trying out Solaris/OpenSolaris. So it's really a toss-up: Linux types can be expected to fix up their path; so can we Solaris types. But as others have rightly pointed out this discussion should really take place on some advocacy list.
