All those parts, which seem to convert Solaris into a kind of Linux. If 
anyone of us, who is using Solaris since years, had a reason to switch 
to Linux, we could easily do so, without the need for a "linuxified 
Solaris".

I'm still hoping that Solaris/OpenSolaris is inspiring other operating 
systems, maybe even Linux (but I personally think, it's unlikely), but 
at the moment, it seems that Linux has a greater influence on 
(Open)Solaris than vice versa.

Have a nice day - nevertheless :-))
