> Like it or not, Linux is the Unix market leader. Pull the other one. Solaris has 5000 times as many applications as Linux. Linux is the Apple of the UNIX market. > Linux isn't technically bad. Yes, it is, from a commercial standpoint. So is BSD. Both of them have interfaces that change far too frequently to be worthwhile porting all the software that exists to them. You write something for DOS or Windows, and it continues to run forever. Same for Solaris, save for the foot-shot of the switch to SVR4, which was necessary because BSD couldn't do SMP.
