Solaris 2.5 x86 may be stable, but Linux (esp. RedHat) is much
more stable, has much more documentation, and is FREE :)
We had Solaris x86 on our machine at home, but recently ended up
wiping it off and replacing it with Linux. Until Sol. x86 is
more supported and more documented, we'll be using Linux on the
Intel machines, and keeping Solaris on the Sparc machine at work.
