Robert, Re:<<3) Total cost of ownership for a Intel-based Linux server is 30% - 40% of the Unix sever.>> >You have to wonder about all of the morons who think they are saving money by consolidating > many smaller servers onto a larger server. Most larger servers can't be Intel based >because Intel doesn't ship really powerful processors. >BTW, all classes of IBM servers can run Linux. I wonder why any of them do, as it is > so much cheaper to run the work on Intel based Linux servers. Scott Considering that you are IBM engineer, I hope that the comments above were meant to be ironic. In this case, you forgot to add :-) If you are serious, you are wrong on several issues. First of all "large servers" could be Intel based using multiple Intel processors. Second, the 30-40% number is most likely WAG. Third, there are other issues, like performance, reliability, etc. that come into play. That's why some customers do buy IBM mainframes with virtual Linux. Jurgis - Well, I'm WAGing too :-)))
