Err, Linux isn't only for x86.  It runs quite well on UltraSparc and 
PowerPC (and S/390 / zSeries) as well.  I *guarantee* you could run have 
more users under Linux on a z990 (or possibly a z900) than on anything 
that Sun sells. : )  Of course, the IBM machine might cost a bit more.  
I just wish more ISPs saw the benefits of having a single machine (or 
sysplex, for redundancy) that services all their customers instead of 10 
racks of PC boxen that service a fraction of their customers.
