Below is my original query quoted. Thanks for many replies. Some of you said this was hype, others were doubting or surprised. Many said Solaris is better scalable for larger servers and has better security, and that Linux has a long way to go. I was surprised that only a few mentioned the large impact of drivers for industry standard and lowcost hardware and that there is a change that application provideres develope for Windows and Linux first. Well, meanwhile two other interesting and related press news have arrieved that talk for themselfes: http://news.com.com/2100-1001-832463.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/53/23980.html "Terje J.
