[Nolug] call for help: white papers to show my CIO regarding Linux, Unix & Oracle

Hi,

Besides running The One True OS, our shop runs lots of HP-9000s
with HP-SUX & Oracle 9i. Some are used for development, and some
are for production.

I'd like to find some CIO-level white papers to show him that
x86 boxen running Linux & O9i are better (i.e., faster & cheaper)
as development machines. (Of course, 1 HP-9000 would still be
needed for final compilation and QA...)

Googling has produced no adequate results.

So, can anyone help with this?

Thanks,
Ron
