Ahem, on the desktop. And the switch was from OSX.
I don't much care either way - I use OSX on my workstations and Ubuntu on my servers - but the title seems overhyped for such a simple article.
- yankcrime 14y agoNo, the switch was from Solaris on his workstation - not OS X.
- axusgrad 14y agoWhenever I had a tough Solaris x86 problem, a web search would usually turn up information from Cuddletech.
- brutuscat 14y agohaha I clicked the article because of the hyped title... I was expecting something like "Why Solaris sucks"
- brutuscat 14y agoBut at the end I didn't understand because he wrote "In the end, 3 days later I had been issued a replacement MacBook Pro which I got just as Mountain Lion released." So he went back right?
- gonzo 14y agoRight. He, like most of the tech world, is using a Mac on his desktop.
- darkstalker 14y agoProof of that?
- darklajid 14y agoNo. The laptop is irrelevant. The article is about him realizing that his workstation shouldn't run a dead Solaris installation anymore, and more general that he doesn't need to replicate a server on his (workstation) desktop. A broken laptop (running OS X, not that it is relevant for the meat of the article) just lead to the switch, which wasn't reverted for all we can tell. Yeah, the laptop (with OS X, incidently) was replaced.
