[SunHELP] SUN V20z and Redhat linux

[Matthew Hattersley]

In our experience here, you can basically do some really funky stuff under
Linux that under Solaris is a complete pain.

Don't get me wrong, I love solaris. However as a general rule of Thumb

X86: Linux
Sparc: Solaris

Although both will work on each other, would you use a Hammer to put
together a server, or a screwdriver?

But different strokes for direct folks as they say

Just a curious question, Matt, why not Solaris x86?

I'm looking at getting a few V20z and  V60z servers, myself.
