Hi, We run apache/tomcat/cocoon on 3 server platforms, Linux, AIX and MacOS X.
Linux on a dual PIII 550, OSX on a PPC-G4 450 and AIX on a 4x250MHz PPC-G3. Bang for buck, a G4 running OSX wins hands down. However, believe it or not, the dual PIII comes in second (AIX don't come close... too expensive for real consideration and Windows is not a server operating system in practice, only in marketing). The Dual PIII was about 10% more than the G4 (after adding SCSI) and about 70-80% the performance. Although theory has it that a G4 500MHz has about the same performance as a PIII 1.5GHz (ie triple the performance), I've found that it's really more like double the performance, not triple.
