lawl. Dude Sun and Sarc are going no where any time soon... just the opposite... Sparc IV+ & Solaris 10 dance circles around Linux on any hardware.. You need to spend some time in a true top-tier enterprise class data center. Linux still has scores or limitations holding it back in the enterprise realm. There is a reason the stuff is expensive -- its damn good.
I work for a fortune 100 company, and we run AIX, HPUX, Solaris, and SuSE Enterprise Linux in our data centers. I have to smile at the idea that solaris is somehow more robust than linux. Solaris is great, but so is linux.
More and more, we're moving apps off of the old school legacy unix platforms onto HP/Compaq servers running linux. And the results have been very very good.
We have dozens of busy linux servers with over 500 days uptime - and the uptime champ, by far for our whole enterprise? Take a guess:
root@ashpool:~> uptime 5:32pm up 1016 days 1:24, 1 user, load average: 2.47, 2.56, 2.36
An very busy old compaq 2450 running DB2, apache and websphere on SLES 9
Dude, there is *nothing* holding linux back here, other than fear and ignorance - and now that the SCO lawsuit has all but died, that fear is
It's dead. You can buy several shares of SCOX (oops, it doesn't have listing symbol anymore) for a penny. Maybe they should change the name to "Solidified Hydrogen"
giving way to a new boldness - and I'm doing everything I can to fix the ignorance.
