Quoting Irving Wladawsky-Berger, "The man in charge of IBM's Linux efforts" in Linux Magazine: "[Linux] is better than almost any operating system for environments that are highly dedicated," he says, "But for it to handle a very dynamic transaction database environment...that's where you need a lot of kernel work...so I can see a world where Linux becomes the main operating system on IA-64, except for those environments that have these very dynamic characteristics, and in those cases, you would then use AIX." I read this yesterday and thought it was relevant to this thread. The rest of the interview is on the web at http://www.linux-mag.com/online/iv_irvingwb_01.html if your interested.
