Private info munged, load average is lowest i've seen it but the Oracle DB is
still running on it, and the file transfer services are still going on.

*chuckles* So enterprises aren't interested in systems that run for 5 years at
80 - 90% of capacity? ;-)

This has been done. It's called Linux.
Wow another 'My OS is superior' flame bait posting. Well, Supposing you're
right -
Linux only runs on 462 out of 500 of the top 500 supercomputers run Linux, and
the first non-Linux supercomputer only made it into place 25.
There are only 7 Oracle supercomputers in the list, and all 7 run Linux, and
none of them on SPARC.
There are 5 Fujitsu computers running on SPARC, 4 of them Linux (including #2).
The only non-Linux one is running OpenSolaris (remember that), which has now
dropped from place 101 to place 160. Clearly Linux/x64 is the winner here, but
if you must run SPARC, it works best with Linux, obviously.
And it's enterprise enough to be Mainframe-ready. -

This ain't the '90s. The Linux of now is vastly different to the Linux of
then....
YMMV
