;-)  And I'm partial to SGI's (like my R10k that I'm writing this from).  But
that isn't the reason why I brought all this up.  I have nothing agains Suns,
I have a few of them here as well.  But I do question the ability of Sun to
produce their solutions as cost effectively, as well as the loyalty of Cobalt
to dump an OS (Linux) which is largely responsible for the viability of their
company in the first place.

I have no problem if they wanted to come out with a Sun-based line of
micro-servers, but if Schwartz's comments are true, I think Cobalt would be
remiss in dumping the Linux-based line.
