Or have I just answered my own question? 8-) Probably for exactly the same reason one would run CentOS on an Intel box instead of Solaris. Now that Intel is becomming mainstream architecture for Solaris (Sparc is slowly going away), and taken that Solaris is now absolutely free (exacty the same price as CentOS) and it was announced they'd go open source with it. Anyhow, in Solaris 10 they fixed bunch of performance isues, and there's some really cool new stuff too (dtrace and you get machine virtualization by default). I've been at Solaris 10 presentation held by Bryan Cantrill (senior staff engineer in the Solaris kernel development group), and some of the stuff was awesome. Interesting thing about presentation was that it was done on an AMD64 laptop running x86_64 version of Solaris (well, actually, there's no separate x86_64 version, if it finds 64-bit processor it'll use it). Not a single Sparc in sight. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
