Anybody read the PC Magazine's comparison between Windows NT, Solaris and Linux which was published in this month's issue? This is the first time Linux gets this much attention on this magazine. I've read previous articles in the opinions section, mostly written by J. Seymour, and a general article about open source software, but this article gets to the facts, seeing Linux as a competitive member in the scene. This is truely a step up for Linux's credit at PC Magazine. I can only regret for the outcome of this comparison: a stict ruling for Windows NT and against Linux, leaving Solaris somewhere in the middle-top. Obviously, tests reviewed in this article were tested monthes ago (at the time of the test Kernel 2.2 was just out, and it had the TCP/IP stack bug so they had to use 2.0.35). I would expect an article of this type to be more up to date with the latest advancements. I would at lease expect the publisher to say that certain advancement have been made and if these tests were performed today, the results would have been better for Linux. Aside that, I think this article was objective and unbiased. We could forsee a better complementing review as Linux development improves with future development tools, and future kernel and web server releases. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
