Agreed. When I got into IT professionally in 1990 I tolerated dealing with SunOS. It was still BSD'ish. But then when it went full re^h^h SysV I put a bullet in its head for me personally. Never used it again after that. I think the last time I touched a Solaris box was 2001 @ TWA in KC. Then 9/11 happened. It was never anything special in my eyes. I just remember hating having to try to find things and software for it. No package management, everything had to be compiled from source. Shiver. AND!!! They didn't ship with CC! It SUCKED! They unbundled it. Yeah not many fond memories of it.
- blinkingled 9y agoOh yeah - you had to buy the compiler separately and GCC SPARC wasn't very good at all - I remember the software we sold sucked at performance benchmarks because we had to compile it with GCC! Solaris though was always a great platform to develop Java/JVM apps on.
