Then why is Sun taking the stance they are on Linux. Really outside of
the LX50 which does not have a sizable market share yet, the Cobalt line
of products is Sun's market share of the Linux server word.

I would assume part of Sun's motivation in acquiring Cobalt would be to
have an immediate interest/involvement in Linux.

So was the whole presence at Linux world, and acquisition of Cobalt all
in the name of advertising?

Did Sun not have any plans for Cobalt?

So what next? 

I have no problem with the LX50, but it's a vastly different direction
than a server appliance?
