I've been quite comfortable with FreeBSD on my personal PC because of
its heritage from Berkely and Sun.  My administrators are converting
from SunOS to Solaris on our Sparcs.  To help me decide whether to
consider the intel flavor of Solaris for my PC,,

would someone please convince me that Solaris will provide me
with much more than the JOY of converting all of my incompatable
shell scripts. (Like all the ones that use 'ps'.)
