I would not trust Linux for a VITAL database. But maybe some people can
comment on it (linux)? Can you get decent support (patches, upgrades, etc)

I admit it could be fun to play around (for thos who like un*x that is), but
it sounds too much like a high-school project to me, not to be trusted in a
real business environment.
