Using both HP 11.0 and Solaris 2.8, I have a preference for HP. Just little toolset things like SAM for a GUI SysAdmin, "top" and "GlancePlus", although GlancePlus, a system monitor, I guess I would consider a huge advantage over what Sun offers.

As far as the hardware, I guess I don't have a huge preference either way. But if you do go with HP -- DO NOT GET AN AutoRAID! Biggest performance mistake we've made, IMO. Super slow writes.

Just my $.02...

Hi, dear listers,
My boss has decided to switch production to a UNIX box and now he's asking me for a recommendation between HP and SUN. I am a newbee to UNIX (to put it the softest way). I've heard people say HP is better, but need more than that...
The DB itself is about 40G on RAID (currently on Windoze 2k). Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sergey Babich
