- Based on my experience with Sun machines, and my experiences with my
- one INTEL Unix machine (486/33, ESIX 3.2-d), there is one difference
- that really stands out ... Not Performance, but RELIABILITY.
-
- A machine running SunOS will be much less likely to "hang" than the
- equivalent intel machine. At least that has been my experience, but
- comparing esix 5.3 to Solaris 1.1 or even SunOS 4.0 is not a fair
- comparison :-) :-)
