Subject: POC Args

I tried to talk to my manager to begin a zLinux POC at our company
(health care) recently to consolidate Oracle servers and, well, it did
not go so well.  He pointed me to 2 articles in zdnet that discouraged
him from even entertaining the idea (see links below).

Does anyone have suggestions on how I can counter this type of article?
Is there merit in them?  I'm just looking for some feedback.

thanks............... George
