   Solaris was worse than Linux, and SPARC was worse than Intel. A lot worse.

   Even ZFS was way better integrated with the Linux kernel even while Solaris was supposedly maintained.

      Not in 2000, at my employer back then, our Linux server was only good as MP3 storage exposed via Samba/NFS.

      All development and production deployments was being done across Solaris, Aix and HP-UX in regards to UNIX flavours.

         If time stopped in 2000 Sun would still be relevant. However, time did not stop in 2000.
