I read something recently (wish I could remember where and what -
probably comments on this Slashdot article -
http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/11/02/0418234&tid=90&tid=106)
that addressed some of this. What I remember was basically that the
userland utilities were far better in Debian, but the kernel in Solaris
was more robust, at least when you get to "enterprise levels" (of
hardware, multiple processors, hotswapping hardware, etc).

I've had a little experience with Solaris 10, and so far, I far prefer
Debian. But then I'm not using "enterprise level" hardware or have
"enterprise level" needs, which might make all the difference.
