We're about 90% Sun, 9% DEC/Compaq, and 1% HP (e.g., we have four HP-UX
boxes that are being phased out, about 8-9 Tru64 *big* boxen that run
Oracle that were bought before we went "all Sun from now on", and the
rest is SPARC/Solaris..)

I'm the secondary admin for the Tru64 machines, primary admin for the
HPUX boxen (as the only other person in the company who had touched the
OS was my manager-who-used-to-have-my-job), and primary on a few of the
Sun machines as well...
