RE: HP vs SUN for a UNIX box

I work on both and like both. However, I would much rather work on HP. Number one, its the one I know best so I am biased in that way. When a Sun box crashes hard it takes much longer to come back up then a HP. At least on our site. There are pros and cons to both.

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
