TCO is bottomline for Sun Linux PCs (ZDNet)
ZDNet
covers a Gartner analysis of Sun's total cost of ownership advantage
with Linux PCs.
"Gartner sees an opportunity for Sun to create a relatively large cost differential compared to a mainstream PC, through lower-cost elements such as an Advanced Micro Devices processor and a lower software-licensing fee. Because Linux potentially consumes fewer resources, Sun could configure the system with a slower processor, less storage, and less memory. It can also carefully control the hardware, software, and messaging configuration to tune the systems for security and stability."
