This would be excellent. Does anyone else also have some performance
numbers which compare (apples to apples) linux boxes to other boxes,
in a web, SQL, Video, firewall,router, Samba server environment, as well
as perhaps some serious number crunching application? I think the
titanic example would be great, except that they don't (as I recall)
directly compare the alphas running NT to the ones running Linux.
Heck. I'll bet some numbers written up nicely could get published in
any number of Mags.
Numbers Turn Heads.
Money Talks.
any management who won't take notice of these, is just a hopeless sheep.
cheers,
