I work for a fortune 100 company, and we run AIX, HPUX, Solaris, and SuSE Enterprise Linux in our data centers. I have to smile at the idea that solaris is somehow more robust than linux. Solaris is great, but so is linux. More and more, we're moving apps off of the old school legacy unix platforms onto HP/Compaq servers running linux. And the results have been very very good. We have dozens of busy linux servers with over 500 days uptime - and the uptime champ, by far for our whole enterprise?
