not much... only 20years or so, how bout you??
you say in one quote that you don't have much experience in AIX / HP yet you say in another that all three meet the OPs needs - strange?

Comparing Solaris running on x86 to Linux is.. funny. It is still Solaris, with all the things which Linux doesn't have, like ZFS, Zones, SMF, Dtrace, FMA, etc etc. Those things are identical (for the end user) on both Solaris versions
Absolutely, but you've missed the point i was trying to make & we're getting away from it here....which is hardware versus cost versus functionality.
AIX = Proprietry
HP-UX = Proprietry
Solaris (Sparc) = Proprietry
Solaris (express) / Linux / Bsd = Open Source - that was as far as my comparison went, & is why i made the comment no system hardware was specified - comparison can be difficult if some of the details are amiss.
