Having helped install Solaris not so long ago, I cannot see why Solaris would require less maintenance than Linux. The Solaris packaging seems much more complicated than Debian's, especially since it seems not everything has been packaged the way it should have been (not gnome, the gnu tools, or even Java 8-).

Unless, of course, Sun has given up releasing security patches or new versions of Solaris?
