[buug] ideal

[John d]

I am in the process of setting up an ISP so they can host sites that need to
do data base stuff.  I am going to use Apache with tomcat and MySQL for the
database.

I need unbiased (if that is possible) input on the best platform.

Money is no object, reliability and stability are  the priorities at any
cost.


for hardware I am looking for feed back on using either a sparc sever or x86
server.

And also what would the ideal OS be if money wasn't a considerations, I am
considering Solaris or linux.

I  want the most reliable platform.


Any feedback would be appreciated
