I'm just curious... if you use some Unix/Unix-like system that isn't Linux, what is it?

Those OSX users that I know who do consider themselves Unix users, went to OSX because it was Unix-like and they already had a extensive background using other Unix or Unix-like OSes...

Anyway.. good point. Though, I can't seem to modify the poll at this point to add that as another option...

We already have a Mac forum, so I don't think OS X counts here...

so, who is it that uses every Unix/Unix-like OS I listed in the poll? I'd like to see a picture of your setup...

I'm not (yet) hardcore enough for Unix. I've been wanting to get into Open Solaris though. Maybe some day.

I've been a hardcore Unix/Linux guy for a while now. I have to say, i'm a bit surprised to hear that OpenSolaris pretty much sucks compared to Ubuntu/Linux:

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...nsolaris&num=1

I'm not a big Solaris fan in general, though I have a lot of Sun equipment and have used Solaris quite a bit, I expected Solaris to be better performing. I'm really surprised to see comparison showing Linux ahead of Solaris in several benchmarks.

I haven't tried OpenSolaris yet, but this just makes me wonder why I would want to waste my time on it?

@BLinux

Re: Solaris performance. Sometimes raw performance isn't everything. There are a few databases out there that are much faster than Oracle, so why does everyone use Oracle? Same reason people use Solaris/OpenSolaris - it's known to be 100% bulletproof.

Solaris will survive things like CPUs and RAMs dying or going bad. I'm not aware of GNU/Linux doing this out of the box. No doubt some of the HA guys have developed patches to handle it, but that stuff isn't mainline yet, AFAIK.
