We are currently looking into moving from Solaris to Linux, but be
careful. Yes the Linux software is generally "free" but the supported
vendors will need at least $500(US) up to $2500 per server for 24x7 support,
dependendent upon hardware (no of CPU's etc) and if you want Oracle's
backing you will need an enterprise edition, RedHat want about $2000 a copy
of RedHat AS v3.0 in the UK. If your shop is used to paying through the nose
for support to vendors like Sun, then these figures don't seem so bad. The
real savings come from the use of commodity Intel hardware!
Just my tuppence worth, that we have discovered in our
investigations so far. Happy to be shot-down and corrected!

Hi all,
I have a project, need your input
the spec is like this
2 or 3 instances OLTP 30 - 40 GB,
1 datawarehouse 1 TB or may be 20 - 25% more
50 - 100 clients in LAN
what do you think about
Linux (Redhat, or ???)
vs
Unix (only SunOS in the market, HPUX ???).
As you know Solaris 10 and Redhat for now are free.
If you have any news from net please post the url
regards,
Jones.
