Bill, my guess is that Sun wants to make Linux available mostly to satisfy demand for it in the developer community. If someonee wants linux why should it be default for an Intel based machine - linux cant take advantage of a larger Sun machine now but in the future who knows. I understand that 95% of Linux is binary compatible with any svr4 unix variant like Solaris so porting it to Solaris later is simple and can then take advantage of multple cpu's and RAS features in Sun Servers.
