Sun builds utter junk.  They were unwilling to acknowledge to customers 
that their UltraSPARC II CPUs had quality issues that caused random 
crashes.  Thats poor support and QA/Testing in my book.  I'm not surprised 
LN is still on Solaris, one old POS to serve another.  If it was at all 
important they'd use Veritas or the like and a decent UPS.

As far as stability...  power outages can render the notes servers useless 
as they always require manual fsck and some are not within hours of a 
sysadm prepared to respond.

It's quiet funny, I'm next to one now that doesn't have an on-site 
sysadmin and we have a poster up next to it that reads "fsck it!".

Sun builds good boxes from what I have heard and seen. In the state we run
LotusNotes on Sun boxes. Nice and Solid, which is where the high price tag
comes in.
