Maybe solaris threads were better 10-15 years ago, but I'm not convinced that is 
still the case.  Any data supporting that argument, solaris 10 threads vs. linux 
2.6.11+ kernel (p)threads?

Another thing to consider in your decision is that Sun was just bought by 
oracle, leaving the solaris road map up in the air.  At least for me, Linux is a 
bit more reassuring ... or freebsd.
