This thread could almost be considered flame bait, or even a
big troll. Not to be mean or anything but you might want to
consider what list your posting this too? Its kind of like
asking a RedHat mailing list if Debian is the best linux
distro.
In general to determine your question you really need to get
down to detail's. You need to compare each tool that is
available to both OS'es, you also need to consider what you
want out of the OS, is it a server, is it free software does
it support your hardware?
I would suggest give both a try, why not set up some spare
disk, and install Solaris then post back and tell us your
experience with the install and usage of the system.
If your an experenced *nix user its probably not a big deal,
you can probably get all the programs you use anyway. So it
really comes down to what the user wants.
For many it might come down to does it play Quake 4? If not
why not? Also what file system can I use with it beside's
the default. That is one reason I don't use freebsd its not
that it doesn't work its the fact that its hard to get a
journaled file system for that OS.
