I'll just throw my two cents in here..and if you remember my posts from my NSBF/NMSU days you know what I am going to say. If you are a small department without a Linux guru, or without Unix experience, read these messages and strongly consider Unidata's recommendations (I've seen Anne reiterate these recently) and stick with Solaris Intel on Intel boxes. I know Linux is pushed and hyped quite a bit lately especially in academia, but if you aren't very Unix/Linux savvy and want something that will work every time, and will guarantee binary compatibility with upgrades, stick with Solaris. I was in the boat 3 years ago of having to come up to speed quickly on Unix and have something that was set it and forget..I and tried both and have never regretted the Solaris choice. Note that I am not putting down Linux (it certainly has it's place) but merely pointing out that Solaris for many reasons is a superior choice for many people. People that many times get no opportunity to hear about it..
