Anyone here use Unix

[Enterpriser]

I am thinking of making the switch from Linux to Unix. Do not get me wrong Linux is a great (the best IMO) operating system. I just want to see if there is people here that I can come to ask questions regarding problems I may (or not) have. On a personal note, I will probably come crawling back to Linux.

Edit: Solaris 10 looks and sounds great.

I really just want to experience the Unix operating system. Solaris 10 looks and sounds awesome. I am still deciding and there is a lot of licensing to fill out.

I always thought Linux and Unix used the same underlying OS. Am i wrong?

Solaris 10 - the most secure OS (apparently)

http://www2.sun.de/dc/forms/reg_us_2211_391.jsp might as well give it a try.

Linux is a Unix like OS, however Linux distributions comply to the Linux Base Standard. Most Linux distributions don't go to the expense of certifying that they meet the Single UNIX Specification. Which is the specification to qualify for the name "Unix"

from what i have heard solaris is unbalanced. in some ways it is far ahead of any OS but in others its stuck in the 90's.
