Merrill Lynch: Linux saves money | CNET News.com: "Telecommunications provider Verizon Communications disclosed that it saved nearly $6 million in equipment costs by moving its programmers to Linux from proprietary-Unix and Windows workstations"
Yup. I know that we can save something like $2M a year, on one application, just moving it off of Sun boxes to Linux. Which isn't really a Linux vs Solaris thing, its driven by the maintenance costs we are charged. But stilll... a good reason to move.
But yeah, the boxes are so much cheaper.
