Linux also runs on sparc, but it's not really fair to compare it to
Solaris. Solaris has the home field advantage. The Intel platform is
essentially the only platform where Linux does not have any quirky
proprietary barriers to overcome. I expect this to change on the G5 since
it is an IBM processor that will see plenty of Linux installs on their
pSeries line.
