Sun, Red Hat Go Head-To-Head
link: http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1774971,00.asp
I don't really understand why HP/Compaq is still in business, as they have absolutely NO VISION. But Sun and McNeely will fight til the last dying breath. Solaris 9 made significant improvements, such as finally including a version of ssh and augmenting their native patch & management tools. Solaris 10 is supposed to be building on these efforts. It is hard to beat the stability of Solaris on Sparc. Linux on x86 ain't far behind, tho.
Linux /should/ have 50% of the server market by the end of the year. (That's not a prediction, it's a suggestion).

THere is a good writeup on both solaris and redhat in the latest eweek
magazine (I believe). I don't have it with me, but if I am remembering the
right article it is saying something about solaris being a lot more mature
than linux, and solaris 10 is regaining some ground. Interesting though that
sun is shipping a lot of linux boxes according to my OP. I thought they got
out of the Linux business entirely a while back.

I wonder what kind of impact Solaris 10 is going to have on the market.
Every enterprise data center I've worked in over the past two years
still has plenty of UNIX in the forms of AIX and Solaris. I see more
Linux when I get to medium businesses (still mostly M$) then I see
plenty of Linux on the small business side.

this).
Looks like HP still has quite a stronghold for organizations that
really
just want to spend a lot of cash. On the other hand it looks like
Linux is
crushing Solaris in the x86 space.
