I personally don't believe one is much superior over the other. I've run them both on fairly beefy hosts (min dual-core with 3GB of RAM). One Ubuntu 10 box, and one Windows 7. In my experience I've actually found my Windows host to be more stable. I often have up to 9 routers and 2 Pix instances running over a period of 3 days, surviving good old 'suspend'.
The only thing I wish was that I didn't have to run PEMU in compatability mode because it hogs the first core. It's really your choice..why not dual-boot so you have a choice and can compare? -Marty- On 2010-09-10, at 10:34 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Send CCIE_Security mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://onlinestudylist.com/mailman/listinfo/ccie_security > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of CCIE_Security digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
