I’ve never used Solaris; I’ve always used either Linux or BSD. Do you guys recommend I try Solaris, or is it even worth trying?
>>107003121Does it run on a Sparcstation? If not, it's not real Solaris.
>>107003141>Sparcstationnop. i gonna run it my own pc, i dont have a sparcstation

Spent a few years on it at work as a daily driver from 1999 to 2003. Filesystem layout is slightly different only insofar as the same UNIX paths but with different usage, for example where I worked the dir /opt was an installation root, but that could have been a shared mount point onbe ery single Sun machine in the company (about 50 Sun machines).This led to some humourous moments, like an idiot project lead being given root access then fucking up one day by accidentally "rm -rf /opt/*". The entire company ground to a halt because the Sun machines were the main workhorse for everyone there as the backbone of the company, and all of them shopped working all at once. The sysadmins were fucking pissed kek.
>>107003656The Sun machines we had were kitted out with these high quality 21 inch CRTs pic related
>>107003656Most of us were using Ultra 10's
use ILLUMOS
>>107003656imagine giving root to anyone besides the main sysadmin lol, it was a ticking bomb
>>107004910Yeah. It was a real fucking circus. I think it was more the result of politics and out of the hands of the sysadmins. Charismatic researcher project heads can easily fool CEOs into granting the most stupid shit. Sysadmins knew it would eventually happen given how fucking cowboy researchers actually are.I have never seen sysadmins more pissed than after this shitfest.
>>107003121Are they still publishing it or have they just switched to linux?
>>107004988it's on life support. Oracle has like 1 maintainer for it and no new versions are planned. but, as Oracle will tell you, no point in killing something when it still makes you money.
>>107005798I wonder whether Solaris or AIX will be the next unix to be straight-up discontinued.
>>107004988it's got guaranteed support until 2034 at least
>>107006039Ah, AIX. Spent some time. Wasn't too bad. At least it wasn't HP-UX.
>>107003121>Oracle
