1. ix Review Solaris 2.4 x86 - Linux 1.1 4x faster Multi User Benchmarks

Having spent a depressing few hours looking at all the latest Solaris 2.4,
bugs and patches, and broken patches....

Is it Sys V rel 4 thats slow and unreliable, or have Sun broken it?

In the multi-user benchmarks, Linux with a load of 16 Users was faster than
Solaris 2 with 4.   Presumably Sun can sell more MP machines, more memory, more ...

Ok, so Linux has less functionality, but what about all those much vaunted
performance improvements?   Sun says Solaris 2 is faster than SunOS 4, which
seems to be very dubious, considering the woes of those out there with 16MB RAM.

It's not funny anymore..    Does anyone acutally like Solaris2?
