Solaris doesn't need self-healing, it needs brain surgery.

In my experience, its stock userspace is the buggiest and by far most braindead of the traditional Unix variants. Ever tried to generically configure NICs on a Solaris system? One of the reasons for choosing Solaris and paying lots of dollars for it must be that out of the box, you expect to get optimally tuned hard- and software and plenty of support. Hah.

Unix vendors have been able to get away with this for ages. Now, times are changing and companies like Sun are forced to embrace Open Source products and bolt them onto their buggy systems. But Scott, please please fix which(1) first, instead of hyping support for PostgresQL(sic).
