I haven't seen the Solaris code, but imagining it is "cleaner" than Linux code is not impossible - although you do have to note that cleaning code takes time away from adding features (in the short term).<BR/><BR/>Well, anyways, good luck with the project... hopefully when I'm old enough I'll be able to take part in the SoC some year in the future. ^_^Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28660784.post-1155079437173820252006-08-09T00:23:00.000+01:002006-08-09T00:23:00.000+01:00Contrary to popular belief core Linux kernel desig...Contrary to popular belief core Linux kernel design is very much well thought out and designed.

It really shows how it's features are engineered instead of hacked up together, like most of Linux.<BR/><BR/>However, Linux has great advantages for a desktop system. It has really good hardware support (read: I can get my webcam, tv-card w/ remote control, printer, scanner, UPS and wireless card working), most distributions nowadays are very polished, it's easy to use, and most problems are quickly fixed just by googling (since it's used by so many people)..<BR/><BR/>It also has the best virtual memory manager I've ever seen in an operating system.<BR/>Speaking of which... *deep breath* I can crash a 32-bit box with 256MB of RAM (without swap) running a mostly barebones Solaris system with a NFS-exported ZFS pool in 5 seconds, by simply running 'find /pool' on the NFS client.<BR/>If I add 256 MB of swap it lasts a little longer, but applications start running out of memory after 5 minutes..<BR/><BR/>It seems it's a 32-bit specific problem with Solaris and ZFS, and from what I read in zfs-discuss, it's not going to be fixed.<BR/><BR/>Now, on the other hand, I will have to *really* think things through when choosing the operating system of my next 64-bit cpu server systems.. NexentaOS is starting to get really attractive ;)wizemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12505131496763624859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28660784.post-1153462850428315692006-07-21T07:20:00.000+01:002006-07-21T07:20:00.000+01:00So if you're getting involved so deep with Solaris...So if you're getting involved so deep with Solaris... why are you still messing around with Linux?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
