Yeah, I said it. I miss Sun Microsystems. Sun was a company that had some way-cool stuff years ago. They also had probably the best commercially available UNIX on the market (note I sad HAD) for quite a while (side note - I'm partially biased as I have certifications for Solaris 7 and 8 but I also think IBM's AIX is way cool). Then Linux happened. That threw a wrench in all of the UNIX vendors plans. Sun, IBM, DEC (Digital Equipment Corp.), Compaq (who I still despise for killing DEC), SCO, etc....all weren't really prepared for what hit them. Linux (as well as the BSD's of the world) weren't really any more feature rich than other UNIX OS's - in fact, they lacked many of the features that commercial versions had. Skip forward about 15yrs and Linux is fully featured and can go toe-to-toe with any commercial UNIX OS on the market.
