Sun Bashes Linux on (IBM) Mainframes

Posted by michael on from the these-aren't-the-servers-you're-looking-for dept.

dagbrown writes: "An article linked from Sun's front page, entitled "Linux on the mainframe: Not a good idea" by Shahin Khan, Sun's chief competitive officer, has the interesting theory that Linux on mainframes makes no sense because, among other things, the VM/Linux combo isn't a very good match. What do the folks on Slashdot think?"

    ...that to really make a fair comparison, I'll need access to a mainframe running Linux. So, if Sun would be so kind, please send me a mainframe so that I can check your conclusions. I promise that I'll write a very thorough article in exchange.
