Apologies for typos...
Here goes, I voted other brand as the main machine is now an ancient Quad Core Philips desk top machine.
It runs Vista for my wife as Windows is all she knows...
I have two laptops that I use at least daily...
1) 13 inch Macbook Pro, August 2012 vintage...
Pro's:- Quite a slick front end, GUI. Easy to use. Fast boot/reboot times. Neved had a SYSTEM crash.
Con's:- Safari is s**t. Some apps' can be unstable. I had to become an Apple developer
to obtain the GCC suite - WHAT! - it is free is it not? Some transient commands look ancient compared to Linux variants. And the worst of all is Finder, whoever designed that complete load of s**t wants shooting. I am using muCommander in its place. The text editor is worse than, dare I say it, Notepad... Enough of this ranting...
2) HP notebook, dual core about 6 years old now with Debian 6.0.x.
Pro's:- Is there anything more stable?
Con's:- Apart from rigidly sticking to F(L)OSS to the letter and having to obtain commercial
stuff manually then there are NO con's. Everything just works AND never crashes.
By far the best OS I have ever used except for my AMIGA of course which leads me
to my final OS......
AMIGA OS 3.1.x, my A1200(HD) is on 24/7 and has been for over 15 years and I still
develop for it. This is still the coolest most intuitive OS of all...
(/Me awaits the flak... ;o)

NAME
brands - alternate operating environments for non-global zones
DESCRIPTION
The branded zone (BrandZ) framework extends the Solaris Zones infrastructure described in zones(5) to include the creation of brands, which
provide non-global zones that contain non-native operating environments.
The term "brand" can refer to a wide range of operating environments. All brand management is performed as extensions to the current zones
structure.
Every zone is configured with an associated brand. The brand type is used to determine which scripts are executed when a zone is installed
and booted. In addition, a zone's brand is used to properly identify the correct application type at application launch time. The default
is the native brand.
A branded zone will support exactly one brand of non-native binary, which means that a branded zone provides a single operating environ-
ment. Once a zone has been assigned a brand, that brand cannot be changed or removed.
BrandZ extends the zones tools in the following ways:
o A brand is an attribute of a zone, set at zone create time.
o The zonecfg tool (see zonecfg(1M)) is used to set a zone's brand type and configure the zone.
o The zoneadm tool (see zoneadm(1M)) is used to report a zone's brand type and administer the zone.
Device Support
The devices supported by each zone are documented in the man pages and other documentation for that brand. The zones infrastructure detects
any attempt to add an unsupported device and issues a warning to the administrator. If the administrator chooses to add an unsupported
device despite that warning, that device might or might not work as expected. The configuration will be untested and unsupported.
ATTRIBUTES
