How do doors compare with RPCs

[xwb]

I'm planning to implement a remote service on Linux/Solaris and I'm wondering whether to use RPCs or doors. I know that the doors implementation on Linux has stopped due to lack of interest but I think the implementation is still usable.

1) Does anyone know if using doors is easier than using RPCs?

2) I've used RPCs in the past and debugging them is an absolute pain. Is debugging doors any easier?

According to this website (

http://www.rampant.org/doors/),

development stopped over two years ago, the software is in an alpha state, and it has not been tested in x86.

I don't think I could recommend doors/Linux at this time. ______________________________________________________________________

Thanks for your replies. Yes, I have read both the Sun and Linux documentation. I was just wondering whether debugging was easier with the doors API as debugging RPCs on Solaris is rather tedious.
