It depends. If the people in question are price-sensitive (and who isn't these days?), and support is important, then supports costs are going to figure highly in the equation. And in that case (and others) Linux (specifically, RHEL) loses out so Solaris: support contracts for Solaris are cheaper than those for Linux. -- Rich Teer, SCNA, SCSA, OpenSolaris CAB member President, Rite Online Inc.
