Welll.... let me clarify a bit. I am adding a server to an environment and the proposed box is a Sun V880. It's not a matter of replacing an existing OS with another, that box will be upgraded in the process of moving into a test server capacity while the new box moves into the production role. I'm looking for some 'quick and dirty' points to make, i.e., improved I/O performance, stability, etc.

Linux isn't on the radar screen at the moment - it will be in the future, but for now it isn't a candidate OS for us for a heavy production environment.

Thanks Folks!
