Re: another buy out of my bread and butter

Solaris worked on proprietary hardware for alot of it's life.

Solaris 2 has been available on standard x86 hardware since 1993, only a few months after it was released for SPARC (which is not proprietary, by the way, it's an open architecture).

That incidentally makes it about the same age as Red Hat.
