Some day, you may have to swallow that irritation. Linux, particularly 
RHEL, is dominant. It is telling that we have spent days discussing 
Linux here, on a sunhelp.org mailing list.  As time goes on, you will 
find ever fewer people who have ever used anything but Linux.

Whether we like it or not -- and I don't -- RISC and legacy UNIX are 
fading.  There is little motive for today's hobbyist to trouble himself 
to learn Solaris at home.  Even if he wanted to, Sun hardware has become 
rare, and Solaris security updates are not readily available.
