Unfathomable crap

Ever read Oracle's advertising? That one which says how they are the king of the hill, the latest, greatest, best choice, industry leaders, yada, yada, yada? Now, let me ask you: did you believe a word of that bull crap? I used to. Until I tried to install Solaris 11.3 and 11.4 on a real server.

Their lie: Solaris is a server OS.

Truth is that it is not. It does not even fucking install on the most common Intel C602 chipset, for crying out loud.

Yes, it boots and installs on the older Intel 900 series, on AMD 700/800 and APU, and other obsolete junk. But try it on 2011 and 2011v3 x79 and x99 platforms, and it will glue its pages.

Yes, this is true. I kid you not. It does not even boot to the language selection menu, on that chipset. This is a kiss of death and a seal of doom, from my perspective. From this point on, it does not matter how awesome Oracle considers their product.

I can boot almost anything on those systems, except probably for QNX pre-4 or eComStation exotics. Solaris? Not so much. Boo!
