Hello,
I am in a similar situation. However Orion is up against the likes of
WebLogic, WebSphere and IAS.

Can any of the companies be truely held accountable? I know WebLogic's support
is awesome, while not expecting the same level of support with Orion,
how reliable is the support, and how reliable is the server in a production
environment?

The hardware should scale well. What type of DB are you using, will it be
on a dedicated machine? It sounds like your site will be getting a large
amount of hits. How are you handling session data accross multiple machines?
Is session data available to all the machines in an Orion cluster, or are
you using a db to store such information?

We run many high load sites under Linux and NFS for stared storage -
however not using Orion. Will be able to say more in two months and would be
keenly interested in how your project goes.
Linux can easily handle the load. I might suggest however going to a 2.4
kernel when available if you are expecting a high load on the box.
