Sun has *everything to gain and *nothing to lose to do with ANYTHING Linux.

That quote first of all, doesn't mesh with IBM's recent NT server line announcement (or the IBM nearly thin client). I'm confused. IBM seems really scattered lately. Too many solutions FUDing against themselves at IBM.

Another good omen.

IBM copper systems un-tested. Who will buy them?

Remember a few years back when IBM had 5 operating systems going at the same time?

It's like "all the wood behind one chipper". I'm sure they give their customers complimentary passes to their seminars entitled "IBM Product Line Internal Overlap And The Women Who Love Them."

Buy SUNW.

Hardware quality is important, but it's only as powerful
as the software that runs it.

In terms of RAS & scalability, the O/S food chain looks
something like this:

Solaris > Linux
Linux >= AIX
AIX > HPUX
HPUX > NT
Irix, Ultrix, FreeBSD, and VMS are somewhere in the middle,
but don't count for much commercially.
MVS & VM are so mouldy, I'm not sure how to rate them.
