Ask your "grey hairs" to buy a full version of a commercial distribution such as RedHat or SuSE... They will get support from those companies...

Hi Sameer,
I m System Admin for an American Financial Group, We have all of our major products are on HP-UX and Sun Solaris. They are planning to test Linux and Oracle combination but dont have any plans to implement Linux into production envoirnment in near future. Here they have a policy that they should be able to catch hold of some one if any thing goes wrong, in case of Solaris they have contract with Sun and similar is case with HP. They are not finding any similar solution for Linux. So surely implementation is big question mark here.I know we have largest community to support us but who make persoms with grey hairs understand the same. Yes, I know ICICI bank and NSE.IT have many of projects live on Linux servers and yes they r even satified with its performance.
