    Hi,

    We have Red Hat EL AS v3 and v2.1 running on top of about 40 HP Proliant
    server (dl-140/145/360/380). Due to serious problems regarding stability
    of a number of those servers (HP is looking into this problem) and the
    HP firmware craziness, just in case we have to make the though decision
    to change hardware brand, a question to you all. The grass always seems
    greener on the other side, so are there people who want to share their
    experience regarding Red Hat EL AS on top of let's see IBM or Sun
    hardware or maybe an other A brand? Any pitfalls to watch for or other
    tips?

    TIA!
    Cheers,
    Andre
