> Sun seems to be pushing branded Opteron boxes

How is that going going to help? I bet those "branded Opteron
boxes" are going to be more expense than non-branded Opteron
boxes that Redhat is willing to give me support on.

And how can Sun afford to compete with it's own multi-billion
dollar hardware investment called Sparc? By letting me pay for
it? No thanks.

As for the bulletproofness of Sun hardware, you can buy 2
Opteron boxes for the price of one Sun box to achieve higher
availability as well as more than twice the performance of
that single Sun box.
