I like Suns actually, having worked with them in the past

SunOS is pretty buggy, but Sun is ok with the patches. The small servers are power pigs too, compared to x86 solutions running linux. They have good hardware reliability, and die predictably. They have great, but pricy (if out of warranty), service for broke stuff. The Sun warranty system is better at keeping records than most admins. Read them the S/N, and they will tell you the day your PO hit, and whether warranty still covers it. Sun is ok, but the best I ever got out of a server was 565 days uptime. Course, we had to unplug the server to move it. GRIN!

That doesn't surprise me. :-P (and I'm not necessarily excluding myself...)

We had a few Suns, and couple of Axils. :-(
