Re: 10 Alternative OSes
Hi Jammy Dodger lol!
In my opinion it is okay, but nothing to really get excited about. To be honest none of the above operating systems are particually good, but I thought it would be good to bring them to people's attention and see what they think of them. If you wanting an OS to try out then give Solaris or Open Solaris a run. You will like it im sure Jam.
