[Aurora-sparc-user] Linux vs. Solaris

[Ashley Wilson]

Am I alone in thinking that the Solaris kernel is bloated?  I have an
Enterprise 420R (4x 450MHz, 4GB mem) and I had to wipe it and install
Solaris 10 so I could move up to JDK 5.  I have noticed a huge difference in
speed and responsiveness.  Solaris 10 drags @$$.  I wish Sun would go ahead
and release Java in a self-bootstrapping form. But I understand perfectly
well why they are not in a hurry.  I suspect that the biggest reason people
actually use Solaris is simply because that is the only way they can run
Java on Sun hardware.
