I've always been very impressed by Sun's talent, the team was . And thank you for dtrace! :) If only Linux community / leaders would be less arrogant and adopt technologies from Solaris/BSD that are order of magnitude better (kqueue, netgraph and more) instead of coming up with new ways to screw up.

Sun should be resurrected now given that risc is leading the way and build everything on top of ARM! :). if only.

Linux can't be blamed for the decision to place Sun's technologies under the CDDL.

there's no license for kqueue's interface or netgraph, and many other great interfaces. but they decide to create square wheels and not leverage from errors that others have made before them.

You're right.
