I just cancelled plans to order two more Xserves for Internet-facing
applications, and am ordering two Dell 2950s instead, with plans to
replace
Mac OS X Server with Red Hat Enterprise
It seems you should have made this assessment before getting involved
with any vendor's operating system.
Personally, I prefer the hybrid approach: use whatever is necessary to
increase productivity. If Apple supplies it and maintains it to my
requirements, then I'll use it, otherwise, I'll build it myself.
I also don't think that the Linux side is a panacea.
