hi
i was reading today about solaris , and i noticed that there are to OS tagged as Solaris, Solaris and openSolaris
they call open solaris a "community edition" , isn't it a proprietary software built on nix?
my question is, "what is the difference between open Solaris and Solaris"
also
what Linux distro do you recommend as a server instead of win2k3
thanks

What linux distributions are you familiar with? What are your needs for this server? How old is the hardware?
My opinion is that I use debian for almost everything. Server runs Debian Etch, Desktop runs Etch, and my test machine runs lenny, and my netbook runs Ubuntu. If you are not familiar with debian use centOS or slackware.
