Will Sun Solaris replace Linux as a server os in future?

As far as I know, Solaris has been around longer than Linux. It is being used in many servers around the world. Maybe not as much as Linux but used nevertheless. Both OS’s are based on Unix. The only advantage of Linux is that most versions of it are free. Solaris isn’t. For large corporate setups, a paid OS means getting the much needed support straight from the people who made it. That is something amiss with those who use the free versions of Linux. That is why we experience lots of internet troubles at times from Linux servers that were poorly setup by people who don’t know how to.
