       In 1996, David S. Miller wrote a post about why Linux on SPARC performed so much better than Solaris. His message is easiest to find in the context of Bryan Cantrill's ill-considered response, for which Cantrill has apologized. Here I want to focus on Miller's message. https://landley.net/history/mirror/linux/kissedagirl.html1/?

       Among other things, Miller wrote, "Linux is light weight, Solaris is a pig."It seems to me that Linux is now one of the big, primarily corporate-developed operating systems. I don't know if it's as much of a pig as 1996 Solaris was, but it has definitely put on some weight that drags it down, especially on lower-end machines.So, where do we turn for an OS that is like 1996 Linux? Maybe NetBSD?
