If you buy RHEL ES support with the same dell servers, the cost would be $350/yr for basic support. Plus or minus, based on AS and level of support and your relationship with Dell. Solaris costs more, but the ballpark is certainly the same. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
