Re: SUSE or Red Hat

Sadly, oracle support of Solaris has really faded, which is really
irritating given how 10 is looking.  Have you looked at dtrace?
It's the tool you have been looking for all your computing life.
The key-word below is "concisely."  When I saw it in action I was in awe.
Come to think of it, dtrace might be the reason oracle doesn't support
solaris as well; little the OS or an app does is behind the scenes with
dtrace in your tool belt.

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/dtrace/
"DTrace is a comprehensive dynamic tracing framework for the Solaris
Operating Environment. DTrace provides a powerful infrastructure to
permit administrators, developers, and service personnel to concisely
answer arbitrary questions about the behavior of the operating system
and user programs."

I wonder if M$ has a dtrace-like tool for users ;)
