Linux .vs. Solaris reliability

[John Turner]

For the most part I would say that Sun hardware will be more reliable 
than Intel PC hardware no matter what OS you are running on it. You 
have to figure that you are paying more money for that added 
reliability. For the most part I have not had trouble with PC hardware 
running Linux, but then again I have never seen it running places at 
the same scale as Sun hardware.
