I have both Sun and HP boxes. IMHO for OS installation and hardware
replacement, Sun is much easier than HP. Actually, I've found everything
easier on Sun,

I asked one of the SA's here, and he thinks the move to HP might be
political on Oracle's part.
I don't know how the HP - Compaq merger will go, that adds uncertainty.
Esp. since Compaq has traditionally been an Intel supporter and they gobbled
up Digital's Alpha technology.

No major issues in the past several years. We had EMC go bad a couple of

You will be ok. The only issues I have had are the normal hardware issues

One thing that did concern me though is I was able to crash a box due to

further though before they shut the plant.

When Oracle said Sun was not stable I do not think they meant that
in terms of running. I believe they mean that the libraries and what

These threads always crack me up. Its like religious wars.
We've got both in house. Most of my stuff runs on the SUN boxes, and I
have had no problems with the stability. I guess administration of the

non-issue for us. As f

I work on both and like both. However, I would much rather work on HP.
Number one, its the one I know best so I am biased in that way. When a Sun
box crashes hard it takes much longer to come back up then a HP. At least
on our site. There are pros and cons to both.
