And why would you want Linux when you can have something as good and optimal as AIX? AIX is an extremely stable and reliable full Unix implementation which will run circles around any Linux. In addition to that, it supports all IBM's hardware and you have "all-in-one" support, covering your hardware, software and even database (yes, IBM will support your Oracle database)? You don't have enough problems in life and you're looking for excitement?
