Hi Gurus !

I am going to make a small project (and therefore cheap)
and plan to use Solaris x86 operating system.

Do somebody have any experience with its stability ?
I hear that it was developed for studing purposes.
Is it right ?

I have got numerous number of replies,
though this question had been some kind off-topic,
as pleasantly noted by John DiMarco.

Most of the respondents say, that Solaris for x86
is as stable as a Sparc version and is compiled
from the same source code.
The stability is determined primary by the hardware used.

It may be cheaper to use Linux instead, but
in my case software requires to be run under Solaris.
