Because we like to use Debian Linux, and also to compile our own kernels from source with just the modules and features we need, a binary blob driver or a driver that only works with Redhat/SUSE kernels is unacceptable for us. In some cases that means that they only distribute binary blob drivers which only work with the particular kernel and version distributed by Redhat/SUSE. Often their Linux support is limited to Redhat and SUSE installs and the kernels that go with them. Being able to get 24x7 support contracts with a 4 hour response time for someone with replacement parts to be on site in case of a problem is great as well. In general we love IBM hardware, it’s rock solid and just runs and runs.
