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.

Adam.
