I got into this discussion because allegedly there's an APPS shop that ditched
their Sun/Solaris for PC/Linux platform.

No doubt -- ORACLE APPS is an ugly beast but was/is there an alternative? 
Linux on the other hand is not only butt-ugly BUT offers NO benefit whatsoever
for an APPS shop.  That was my point.

I still don't see any value in going Linux even for a shop on a tight budget --
this is just a trend.  They shoot themselves in the foot by doing so and will
be paying the price in the next 4 years.

Again ... time will tell.
