>>>Linux competes with Sun because if I am a Unix guy, I can now buy Intel servers, which are cheaper, and still run my favorite operating system for free.<<<< You dont understand. I work in a Solaris/NT shop right now. Solaris runs mission critical stuff that we put in High-availabilty clusters. (Downtime of 1hr = $850K!!) Forget Intel boxes. Just NOT reliable enough! Our less critical stuff runs on Dell boxes, running NT. We are slowly migrating that to Linux. Off course, our Wordprocessing/spreadsheets are still being done in NT and will continue to be the case for the forseeable future, since Win 95/98 have been banned here! --Olu E.
