: - Technically speaking, Solaris 10 is the best possible server you
: could get,
There is no empirical measure by which you can come to this conclusion.
: it is superior in the filesystem, overall reliability, security
: at the kernel and process level, and a long, long etc.
Funny, because many people say the same thing about OpenBSD. Or about z/OS
There is no single OS that is manifestly superior to all other OSes across
all possible workloads. Solaris won't even run on a System z9 system AFAIK.
I have no idea where you got this information from, but let me tell you it is
incorrect. Completely.
: - Red Hat ES or AS have very little more than what is already included
: in the latest Fedora Core Linux.
These two distributions are aimed at completely different markets. Red Hat
ES/AS are aimed at the corporate market, where support and stability and
application certification are important. Fedora Core is more aimed at the
SOHO/enthusiast market where new features are more important, but
support/stability are not.
I think there are a number of misconceptions/inaccuracies in your summary.
Unless you can further clarify what it is that you are trying to do (i.e.
there are requirements/assumptions that we don't know about that are guiding
you to your decisions), I suggest that you undertake further research.
Cheers
