Red Hat on Intel machines was the original choice for my project which will run proprietary software. After the annoucement by Red Hat I asked the softare vendor if they supported latest version of RHEL? Nope. Veritas Clustering software doesn't support latest version of RHEL either. What a tough choice...decided to get one V880 and three V480's (hardware is maxed out) running Solaris 9. HP, IBM, Dell, and Linux all lost on this small deal. Hundreds or thousands of small deals occur all over the world all the time and they add up. Paul
