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'.) --Jim Fox
