Is OpenSolaris Ready for Admin Desktops?

,----[ Quote ]
| OpenSolaris is essentially GNU-Solaris. When talking about the user 
| experience, one could say that since the GNOME desktop is used, running 
| OpenSolaris is no different from running Linux. For the casual Web, e-mail, 
| and office applications user this may be true. For us network and systems 
| administrators, however, we need to be more careful about jumping ships.

Sun Enhancements to OpenSolaris Take Aim at Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Sun Microsystems’ OpenSolaris 2008.11 includes improvements around software
| package management and incorporating community packaging efforts. The updates
| to the free Solaris-based OS shows that Sun will not follow IBM and HP in
| letting Linux take over the platform space once dominated by Unix.
|
| OpenSolaris 2008.11, the second major release of Sun Microsystems’
| freely-licensed, Solaris-based operating system, hit the Web late last year
| packed with feature enhancements that illustrate that Sun isn't about to cede
| the platform stage to Linux, as brothers-in-Unix such as IBM's AIX and
| Hewlett-Packard’s  HP-UX have done.
