If done properly Linux can be leveraged to promote Solaris. This can
be done by drawing on the Linux community as a feeder group through
Linux support. If Linux runs out of steam for some applications the friendly Sun
sales rep can be there with a solution for their high end boxes. But in
the NT community, moving to Unix is a lot more work. Linux is killing
M$ in the server arena but Sun sales seem to be hanging in there. Now if Sun would be
a bit
more friendly maybe they can get the sale but I think IBM is already
ahead of Sun in this respect and within the next 6 months we'll see
if IBM's strategy of supporting Linux will bolster their AIX/PPC
platforms.
Just my $.02
