I was comparing the IBM PowerPC based server like the p5 505 to one of the UltraSPARC 111i based servers. Proprietary against proprietary. I did see one of the models to be better, but the others looked to be higher for number of processors/memory/SCSI Hard Drives. Otherwise Sun has AMD based models that are competitive and should be able to run Linux already. I just think to be able to continue the prorietary line of CPUs that they feel the need to expand what OSes run on it.
