I don't have much knowledge about OSes (I have just started to concentrate on learning Operating Systems), but why do you say so about Solaris?

The reason why I ask so is that we are running on Solaris and we had a problem once in our development server. We had a file-system corruption (the super-block got corrupted and we could not recover using alternate super-block), because of repeated power loss and abrupt shut-downs. I was told by the System Admin, that such a thing is extremely rare and it can happen on any OS (and that Solaris wasn't the culprit).

Your statement makes makes me doubtful about the stability of Solaris OS in light of the above mentioned incident.
