What other architectures are you considering?  There's been recent
disvcusion about this on the list, but I'd put Sun close to the bottom
of my TSM architecture preferences.  AIX first, then Windows (because
it's popular now), then Linux (because it's popular tomorrow).

As much as it pains me to put Win in front of Linux... :)

But really, AIX is preferable if at all possible.
