Agreed - in the real world we have SLES 9 running on an Opteron box  
doing our backup with Veritas Netbackup. The Veritas vendor wouldn't  
even install it if we didn't have an install listed as supported on  
Veritas' list. Thankfully they re-released their list the week before  
our install was due and added Opteron support.

Had we decided on Debian or CentOS we'd not have the backup running.

As it is we have a decent speed backup running in a fraction of the  
time our old Windows based backup ran.

Just to prove that I'm not anti Linux :)
