Pardon me, let me rephrase that. One great thing about Linux is the
incredibly good price/performance on commodity Intel-architecture boxes.
When you get to 64-bit land, the price/performance of
Itanium/SPARC/Alpha is not even close.
(BTW, I hear persistent reports that Linux/Opteron is still flaky).
