What's the point of a Linix mainframe. Wouldn't it be cheaper to get a Unix server like Sun?For one, local access for web apps to mainframe DB2 databases running in another partition on the same mainframe.

Based on the way their president behaves, I have to wonder about the corporate culture there and how reliable a business relationship with them would be.
They might be a bit cheaper up-front but the intangible long term costs may not be worth it.
