We are a 100% Linux shop. Although the thought of Solaris has crossed our
minds more then once. However, we are an "Enterprise Linux" shop (i.e. We
only allow it in production if there is vendor support behind it). This is
one of the reasons that I am looking at the RHEL5 cluster suite. I need to
do away with the OSS LinuxHA that is currently used. I am also going to look
into other commercial Linux clustering systems, but the project time is
pretty short.

Thanks,
