Who cares about Linux ? Database business is not a field for toy-OS
like Linux is. Maybe Linux is really cool, stable, has a lot of
features. However question is: Who give me a support for it ?
If our company encounter any problem with Solaris, then after one call
we'll have building full of SUN consultants, because we're maybe the
best SUN client in country. With Linux I need to hire external Linux
consultants. I do not know how good they're, because no certificates
are available and no strong background in commercial company. Linux is
maybe the best platform for Internet servers (like proxy, mail, web),
but for database applications commercial UNIXs are more suitable.
P.S. Just my humble opinion. No intentions to start flame wars. :-)
