Ok, you want to use Linux at work, and don't want to do any
work to convince the company it's worthwhile. Ok. For that
situation, though, I suspect that Solaris is a better deal
for a company.
    

Ok, again, a Sun workstation with Solaris sounds like a better
overall deal to me. But I now see a point.
    

You can now run Solaris on most x386/686 systems.  And Sun does make
some nice Opteron systems and very good prices.
