I'd disagree with both Dan and Frank. It seems to me that Linux on
Dell or HP is a hell of a lot larger than non solaris sun intel boxes.
If that's right you'll likely get better support both in house and
from the vendors (oracle/redhat as well as the hardware vendor) for a
mainstream intel vendor than one whose x86 is really rather an
afterthought.
