But it's not a valid argument that just because Solaris doesn't have
the same commands as Linux it is not user-friendly. We who know
Solaris better than Linux can argue the same way to no usefulness.
They are different and will be. If you want user-friendliness, look at
the difference in creating disk pools and file systems.
