But unfortunately the situation has become so bad now that Sun would need
to agressivly approach the people in the univsersities who are responsible
for the computer pools to make Solaris be present again in the universities.

Oh, I think there are massive community building opportunities in South
America. Whenever anyone goes to Brazil, for example, they seem to be extremely
impressed. I don't know much about the region myself, but just observing the
Java community there gives me great hope. I see that Jonathan was

Which important piece of IBM software was
opensourced?
No major IBM's SW had been open sourced, as far as I know. Last I checked, AIX
5L was still a closed product that cost money, on top of the expensive IBM
Power CPU based hardware.
I wanted to get the lowest cost 1U Power based server to
Yeah, might be true to some extent - but the reality
is different. Normally you have Windows, Solaris,
zOS, AIX, HP NonStop and maybe Linux.
This is partially true, to the extent that you will have a salad of operating
systems and hardware in small to midsize shops.
Large shops have these
No major IBM's SW had been open sourced, as far as I know.
Exactly. IBM has done nothing to open source their software stack: z/OS, AIX,
DB2, Websphere.
I think they are not even looking to do that... since it is very complicated,
time consuming - much easier: confuse the world with Linux, sign

You might think that Linux shines in that area. Obviously you've never dealt
with platform provisioning and engineering in any structured matter to know
what's all involved. Had you ever designed and built a JumpStart
infrastructure that automatically installs and configures thousands of
