When I
eventually found the source article http://www.interealm.com/technotes/roby/pentmark.html,
it seemed to me that there were some problems with it.
1. It
said the two OS and databases were 'similarly' configured but didn't show what
the configuration was.
2. It
states that Windows 2000 does not support mount points and so OFA cannot be
used. This is incorrect.
3. I
waasn't sure how much weight as given to Linux as a Unix alike system being
similar to Unix systems. This seems to be a daft comparison.
4. it
wasn't clear how the conclusions (use Linux where you don't use clustering - use
windows if you don't need to scale) came from the tests.
Otherwise it seemed a fair comparison of apples to oranges :(
