I hate it when I have to play the Solaris-advocate, but you are right here. I still have a few doubts though... Perhaps they find Oracle/Linux easier to support and they suggest this, instead of Oracle/Solaris, because they do not want to hire a few Solaris people to match their Oracle folk. Or their Oracle/Linux solutions are not that high-end, but are available faster and a smaller cost. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
