Re:Sun would be remiss to adopt linux (Score 1)

Most Sun customers don't appear to be fazed by the fact the Solaris isn't free or even cheap.

Thats completely true. When I have to buy a Sun with 2 processors, each priced at around 40.000 Deutschmarks, where is the point in Linux/Sparc being free?

And I dont buy this machine because it gets me off, but because my employer wants to have a service running which just isnt done with Intel platforms. Would I have to buy (or more likely, rent) a S/390 from IBM, I wouldnt even try if I could install Linux on it.

Its the service that counts, not the OS!
