Re: Which is more stable and reliable UNIX OS?
said by nukscull :said by chrisretusn  :Solaris is based is based on SunOS, which is based on System-V. Early versions of SunOS were based on BSD, SunOS 4 was the first System-V SunOS 4 was the last BSD based SunOS. I know since I used SunOS 4.1.4 up until Y2K. SunOS 5 was the first System-V SunOS. OOPS! Yeah your right, SunOS 4 was the last BSD. I use SunOS and have for many years. |

said by powerhog :I would add AuspexOS from Auspex Systems to round out the top 5 list.  The question is "Which is more stable and reliable UNIX OS?"
Not one of those listed is a Unix operating system.
I happen to disagree with most stable, especially Windows ME.
I do agree with OS/2; I still use OS/2, actually eCS. |

On edit-
Not sure what it takes to be "Unix", but AuspexOS is just as much "Unix" as SunOS. In fact, AuspexOS is nothing more than a 'hacked' version of SunOS 4.
I'd also qualify NeXTStep as "Unix". Unless the GUI somehow disqualifies it. |

Hardware plays a huge part in an OS's stability. I've been running Dell Precision workstations for years with XP and they are rock-solid.
FWIW, Microsoft takes a lot of blame for the problems people encounter on their ChinaMart computers and their cheesy drivers. |

Microsoft also takes a substantial amount of fairly placed blame for poorly implemented acquisitions under the guise of innovation which result in distribution of shovelware under a facade Microsoft stability.
Your Dell system was assembled from Chinese components. I'll see your XP stability and raise you an XP SP3 SQL corruption:

You have got to be kidding on that one?.... 2000 or NT maybe. I had almost forgotten ME even EXISTED, and for what a YEAR... an ill fated maybe most incompatible ever stop gap to much ballyhooed but not quite ready for prime time XP (Not that it ever really was either but Pro for a SPECIFIC function biz/set)
Like any Winblows... repeatedly install and (though said so never really did fully) uninstall stuff FORGET IT...WIN certainly did eventually

I guess the [/sarcasm] tag means nothing anymore.
Knowing the original poster, I just figured I'd post some stupid BS and see if he never replied...which has happened again. |

Yup, you are correct. I've been sleeping at the wheel. Thanks for waking me up.

The most stable OS is Z/Os. Been around since 1968. |
