Can you elaborate on the "Then, of course, they also wanted RAC, and that's 
where the 
whole financial wagon went South?"

We are testing RHL 3 with a view to replace our Windows OS.  We are doing this 
on a single node now but eventually would have to RAC it and retest.  Is there 
some kind of complication using RAC on linux?

Which, unfortunately, seems to guarantee that in general Solaris will be 
replaced by something more unstable out there.

Funny? Only if you're twisted.
Good for us? Only if we're willing to change.
Good for our country? Oh yes. GDP will increase, just as it does when we 
have many traffic accidents.

When a large customer of ours went from HP/UX to Linux, we all expected 
to see savings. Perhaps one day we will, but to begin with, the HP 
support/upgrade stuff on Linux was - surprise - about the same price as 
on HP/UX. Then, of course, they also wanted RAC, and that's where the 
whole financial wagon went South.
