All our SUN Solaris sites are very stable, just the same as our IBM RS6000 clients. When setting up, everything just works.
Linux is a different issue. We have had lots of problems getting the configuration to work - the correct glibc version etc. Some machines we have "hanging" issues - the server stops and we need to press the reset button. We would never attempt to run hundreds of users with our application on one server (we have pushed the users with SCO Openserver and Windows). It is easy with Intel hardware to run our of IO or CPU resources.
