SUN Microsystems Sun's ambitions have grown another size larger. The server and software company launched its servers based on its own UltraSparc T1 'Niagara' chips in December, a major part of a drive to restore its lost luster and financial strength. But alongside the hardware launch came a more quiet software push: an attempt to make the Linux and BSD Unix open-source operating systems a serious option for buyers of Sparc-based computers. To promote the technology combination, Sun is trying to coax an accompanying software business into existence.

OK folks calm down, I don't want this to turn into a Linux flamefest. In other words, back on topic or I'll have to do some modding.

Sorry Thom.

I just wish Sun were more like Apple or Microsoft rather than getting bullied by IBM and Redhat into parting with their crown jewels.

Look what happened to SGI and HP - they are hollowed out husks of once great UNIX companies!.
