Hello!
Chris, I work with a firm who is still using the same software based
on that kludge of a platform and really isn't interested in the
arguments for Linux. It also hurts that the firm who created the
website and selected Oracle for it is next door to the offices.

I am waiting for yet another outage on that platform to convince them.

And Rod, yes it is. I am not going because the host of that one chose
a largely irrelevant to me theme. The OpenSolaris one isn't.
