Hi Sergey !
I happened to run all of the aforementioned O/S (Solaris , HP-UX , AIX and
Linux) on most of the platforms.
in my opinion Solaris is far more manageable , documented , scalable ,
stable etc.. O/S than the others.
Sun boxes running Solaris have almost as many installations as all the
others together.
Not to mention that there are far more books , materials and experts who
deal with Solaris than with others.
2 more arguments :
-- Sun develops Java , and everybody (except for Microsoft) are commited to
java , ESPECIALLY Oracle.
-- Other vendors (such as HP , IBM etc) produce thousands of products : PCs
, printers , scanners , whatever.
Sun produces only one hardware - SPARC platforms to run Solaris.
They focus on one major thing and they do it best.

Subject: RE: HP vs SUN for a UNIX box
Stay with HP. It's a hell of a lot more reliable, and does not require
anywhere near the # of patches, and its patches work far more often that
Sun's. I've done 5 years with each, and there's no question that HP is
superior.
Thank you,

Our shop is switching from HP to Sun. No one can tell me why. There must
be a cost savings somewhere.

Hi, dear listers,
My boss has decided to switch production to a UNIX box and now he's asking
me for a recommendation between HP and SUN. I am a newbee to UNIX (to put it
the softest way). I've heard people say HP is better, but need more than
that...
The DB itself is about 40G on RAID (currently on Windoze 2k). Any advice is
greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sergey Babich
