We just switched to CentOS (from SL) because the SW stack Sun is
offering is built on it.
This issues are ISV, IB, Lustre, HW counter support, cost, reliability,
maintainability, scalability etc...
I''d prefer Sun to focus on few (or one) distros which work well then on
many distros with gaps.
best regards,
Dieter
