FreeBSD or Solaris I got fever last few days,and when I was at home, a guy who is from the freebsd.org asked me to have a try on the Freebsd.So I did...And I write some my experience here to share with you... From the installation,the freebsd is direct,but there are many configration work to do.It is not friendly enough to me,this kinda newbie,to BSD,but I think it is simply enough.If you take few time and be a little bit of patient,you will handle it.In this field,the solaris/sparc is perfect for its UI and the smooth installation processes.But solaris/X86 gave me very bed experience before,thence I haven't installed the solaris/x86 again... From the usability,the freebsd orient the server,so the desktop of freebsd,either gnome or kde is not powerful as the jds on solaris by default.CLI is the first choice of the operation enviroment.This strategy have never been changed in FreeBSD till today.Solaris worked like that in the CED age.But while gnome is integrated in the solaris,things changed.Many things belong to the desktop level are in,and the desktop of solaris has been much enhanced when JDS appeared.But to the limited resouces,the more is taken by the desktop,the less is left to the server application.So,where will solaris go?The server or the desktop?That is a problem. If I want a desktop,I prefer the linux.And we did a right thing to develop linux.But I am so confused that why not use KDE in suse linux?Acutally,today,linux can take the place of the windows,if the user is determined.If I want a server,I perfer the BSD.I do not want to desktop take much resouces from the mechine.Even in the case that I want to take both and only pay for one mechine,I still perfer the linux for the good balance between the desktop and server side,though the stability is not better than FreeBSD. When I said some many negative words to solaris in the last section,I still support solaris.Yes,you see the open solaris icon,I am a zealot to it.On and only on sparc,it is the best always! Comments: There are so many useless word here,Well,maybe I havent wrote for a long time...the simple and stupid word is my type....In the end of the article,I find I have somehow departured my original theme...Oh,maybe solaris is lost in the competition,just in my opinion.I do miss the once empire of SUN....
