Anyone here use/maintain Solaris? Despite the fact it's expensive to get support and updates, it's a pretty stable system that I use at work. ZFS is great and UFS is okay on Solaris 10.

I like it a lot better than Red Hat because most dependencies don't require you to have subscriptions or support and you can snag them from pretty much any repository.

I haven't tried Oracle Linux yet, but I can't image it's much different aside from convention.

I thought it died years ago. Huh.

It died for me once it stopped shipping with CDE.

Never saw the point in running from one vendor that controls you to another one

Plus something about an entire DE written in fucking Java just gives me the willies

I used to like it as well. It was super functional and wasn't overly flashy. Did what it needed to do.

Sun no longer has authority over Solaris, so Java isn't used exclusively. It uses Gnome 2.

Solaris and SPARC both are very much alive, although sales seem to be gradually declining

JDS was literally GNOME 2 with Sun themes
and it was quite nice
