Tru64(aka dead os) is going to disapear soon, in favor of HP-UX.

Solaris x86 is not so well supported, all enterprise features are
for SPARC edition. And UNIX RISC boxes are _expensive_
Yes make sure you read the fine print of what is covered by Solaris x86
at 250.00.. it is not as simple and clean as a price difference does.
But then again.. it was never really fair to compare a 49.99
installation support only boxed set to a 250.00 commercial support
solaris in the first place.. but many linux heads did so.

RHEL gets more supported software than others OS(Solaris, AIX, HP-UX...),
like postgesql, zebra,.... It doesn't is a real comparative.
