 +<fc #800000>// The differences are by no means obvious, and stem from the large-server heritage of Solaris.
 +Most of the visible differences occur in admin software, but a few quirks exist in userland, too.
 +And the package system is aggressively different.
 +Still, most any Java library is likely to run w/o any problem, and most Linux software
 +can be automatically transformed to run in Solaris descendants.
 +And, given its heritage, Solaris makes for very good and reliable servers. //</fc>
