I’m vaguely interested by Solaris – because it’s really the only other mainstream Unix around (except Linux). However, when I’ve used it in the past, it’s lacked so many useful things (like gcc, make, GNU utils etc) – have things improved a lot with Solaris 10?

Does it have a decent packaging system like apt/yum? Or is it a case of having to visit sunfreeware.com (or whever)?

I’m wondering if people are just trying it out because of ZFS…. certainly I’ve seen a few people saying they’re going to try it (Solaris) out lately….

David.
