Ah Dulles, but there is no Sun controlled version of Linux.

Sun is just offering natively compiled AMP stack for Solaris.

What does this have to do with Larry Ellison, Oracle and DNA 
databases? 

And how does Solaris = Microsoft? 

Sorry shouldn't feed the trolls.

I do find the claims of "more secure" somewhat distasteful faffery of the marketroid variety.
But that's my only complaint.

I'm curious whath they've "optimized", but some poking around on the page without finding any
solid indications of what (if any) work was done on the software has exhausted my time-budget
on the topic.

They've put a JVM in it that optimises the use of memory. That is, every single byte available
gets taken by it ;-)
