Solaris is based on System-V, so it will more closely resemble a Linux system than a FreeBSD system. The previous "version" of the OS was called SunOS, and that was based on BSD. There are a few leftovers from that time, but it's mostly System-V. Most of the userland tools will have the same names, and work mostly the same, just some options will be different, or non-existent (compared to GNU or BSD tools).
Solaris scales very nicely across multiple CPUs and even multiple servers (clustered). And the hardware it runs on (SPARC/UltraSPARC) is *very* nice when it comes to SMP and management. It's not all that great on a workstation or a desktop, though. The default, supported, GUI is CDE (Common Desktop Environment) which is just plain archaic. Newer releases of Solaris (post-9) will use GNOME as their default, supported, GUI.
There's also an x86 port of Solaris, although it's bog slow, and more for show than anything. Solaris works best on the hardware it was designed for (SUN hardware).
We (the local school district) don't use any Solaris. We have one SCO UnixWare box (slated to be replaced with a RedHat Linux box next month), several dozen RedHat Linux servers, and just over a dozen FreeBSd servers. Then there's my little section of the IT area that is nothing but FreeBSD on the desktop, the workstation, the laptop, and the servers.
Our local ISP (OnCall Internet Services) uses a combination of FreeBSD, RedHat Linux, and Debian Linux. |
