Operating Systems Solaris New to Solaris, want to only install the console Post 302301876 by gojericho0 on Saturday 28th of March 2009 10:24:30 PM

Thanks guys, i found i can log in with the console as well instead of using the GUI. I'm making myself some beginners practice exercises.

why would someone run solaris over a linux distribution? What do you guys compare when selecting an OS? I would image hardware and technical support would be a big factor, other than that is it just personal preference?
