Aside from the obvious applications-wise and kernel-wise, the default kernels and C libraries employed by the three were taken at differing periods during the stabilization of the kernel support NPTL in Linux kernel 2.6. If I remember right, it was RH who was the first to integrate NPTL support in the C Library and kernel during the 8.0 release, so I'm not sure if there's been a lot of changes in the NPTL support in the C Library (although definitely a lot of changes have been seen in the GNU C Library from that time on...) > Are there really big advantages in using Red Hat's 2.4 kernel "with 2.6 > features" with respect to running a JVM that needs a lot of file handles? www.amitysolutions.com.au/documents/ NPTL_Java_threads.pdf www.amitysolutions.com.au/documents/ Threads-technote.pdf I dunno if this is an impartial testing, but there's already some papers on the behavior of Java threads, JBoss using an NPTL-enabled setup. -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED] To mess up a Linux box, you need to work at it; to mess up your Windows box, you just need to work on it.
