RE: Oracle Linux vs Unix

Hi

If you compare the costs between Linux and Solaris (for SPARC) the main = advantage of Linux is that more powerful CPUs are available. Remember, = you don't simply save hardware cost, but usually you save Oracle license = costs as well...

Advantage of Solaris is the far better support of 64bit and lots of CPUS = (let's say more then 8 CPUs).
