Hello. 
So far I've received the following. Admittedly some of the answers were a 
bit hard to categorize, but I think this is the gist.

platform        for     against
Sparc           4 
Windows         1       3
Linux           1       6
Solaris x86     1       1
non-responsive - 7

What I find a little puzzling is that there are no advocates or detractors 
from HP-UX or AIX. I wonder what that means? My current server is an HP-UX 
system...
