I've always thought Solaris sounded interesting, especially the Dynamic Tracing.

If we put Solaris on our machine can we run AH with it?

Always get worried when the customers I support reboot a Solaris, iSeries or AIX/UNIX server that has been up for along time...

It came back up like it was a new system.  Nevertheless, we will be replacing the hard drive in it soon.

It is a Supermicro server.

Your server room must be clean. I had a linux computer once that was not rebooted for... well I dont know exactly but it was well over a year, probably close to two. Eventually the CPU fan became a whirling chunk of dust, made tractor noises and stopped cooling. The case fan was still bravely chugging along with what looked like a pound of dust on it... :)
Overall, the view inside the case looked like something that was found by Indiana Jones in a Pharaoh's tomb.

It was sitting in a graduate students office, on the floor which was far from clean.

Before I got deeply involved in Oracle I was a UNIX system admin.  Our main servers were Sun Solaris.  They are the most stable and powerful servers of their type.  We too had a server up 2.5 years plus!  THAT is the kinda system you want a business to run on!

Oracle, who now owns Solaris, have added a new kernal to their LINUX that allows you to restart any part of the kernal while keeping the OS up.  Zero downtime mission statement there!

That HiTech use Solaris for part of their mission critical services shows you guys just how dedicated they are to performance and stability.  If you only look at impact fees and not ROI, Windows would have been much cheaper.  Very wise move by HiTech to use Solaris.  :salute

If your using hardware that's more than 5 years old you can reduce our monthly fees.

My $15 a month to AH is quite probably the cheapest entertainment I have considering the amount of hours I log. :uhoh

The fact that they have not raised the subscription fee over the years even with the change in the economy is essentially the same as a "reduced" fee.  So, there you go. You got what you wished for, little Timmy.  Merry Christmas!
