Im not sure if someone has raised this point already, I haven't read every thread of this debate, so please shoot me if I've missed it.
The last ISP I was working for had solaris and many versions of linux scattered around the place, until the day one of the Sun power supply's kicked the bucket. Now when we got a quote back of some where in the vicinity of $1500, we all agreed that solaris can go f**k itself and replaced ALL of our *unix boxes with Debian. Now when a hard drive fails, we have another we can through straight in, if a power supply fails we have heaps lying around just waiting to go in. I personally haven't used Solaris (that was someone elses job) so I can't give any feedback on which is better, but it saves a lot of time and money lost when you are using generic PC components.
