Alas, if he markets HP servers, he's probably beholden to selling MSFT 
licenses as well as HP/UX licenses...

Don't get me wrong, I have a special love for HP/UX (since it was the 
first Unix I ever used), but from what I remember, it was fraught with 
fail...i don't think there's anything one can do with HP/UX that can't 
be done better & easier with Linux.

(   Maybe we can get him to join this conversation on this mailing 
list?  It would be interesting to see if they even offer Linux for their 
servers...if not, maybe IBM is a better vendor? :)   )

BTW. the world's fastest supercomputer is a Linux cluster running CentOS 
w/a little bit of Fedora.  Surely HP recognizes this? :)
