Suh weet. What type of hardware are you speaking of on the Linux side? Also what flav of Linux? We have a Redhat box, um 6.2 (for shites and giggles) running on an lowend HP E60 and it hauls. I always bring up Linux solutions to my IT Director, but he like others, fear the penguins. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Decker [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2000 12:30 PM To: 'Jack Klein'; [email protected] Subject: RE: [FW1] NT or Unix I can vouch for Dan on this point. I've seen several different benchmark results that give Unix a 20-40% advantage over NT on max throughput, depending on the Unix flavor. Solaris performance is hard to compare fairly because the HW platforms used to test are always different, but you can do a nice apples-to-apples with Linux. Of the three (NT/Solaris/Linux), Linux seems to be the best performer, especially in terms of overall cost per Mbit of throughput. However, you'll probably find better commercial support for Solaris and NT than Linux at this point. If you're not going to be maxing out the box, I say just "go with what you know". Mark L.
