Uhhhhh...incest? http://www.sun.com/software/linux/

Where was it I saw all those complaints about Dell... metalink? oh well, this has now become humor:
http://www.internetnews.com/ent-news/article.php/1276851 No single point of failure, but complexity does add some more points!

I notice the eWeek article doesn't say a thing about databases (other than the German guy), it just says "Oracle." So if there are more users on Solaris than LInux, they must be including all tiers. The article mentions Java. Scott did seem unusually subdued at OpenWorld.

This all must mean Scott is giving Larry a bunch of servers on the cheap.

That stuff's all trailing edge, isn't it?
