Dear listeners,
Exactly the same experience here in about running linux x86 hosted web
and applications servers. For me the Mac power is mostly inside the OS
and we don't have to care about hardware tasks. As exposed yesterday
evening at WWDC, little indian will crash our programms if our code try
to divide by 0 where big indian will gohead in returning unusable
results. Is that lots different ? In doing most of the translation
process for us, i'm realy confident about the way in witch our sweat
Rev team will probably open new opportunities to both us, the
developers, and Rev, our great cross-plateform xtalk ;-)
Best to All,
A bit OT but you'll see my point...
The theory is that Wintel (or at least Windows) users need to upgrade
more frequently (because every new version of Windows is more bloated
-
apparently new versions of OS X have been the same or even more
efficient).
If you had 2 users each buy a machine at the same time
Windows users upgrades his machine every year
Mac user upgrades his machine every 3 years
That's in theory... my 5 year old PC still runs and doesnt' need any
updates in
terms of server use. But as far as most of my
pc aquaintances, most of the time we just swap a cpu, swap a hard drive
and
DONE... No need to buy a new PC. Just like old mac accelerators (but
much
cheaper, much better supported too (driver and support wise).
Last time i did this (to improve GTR's speed), the mother board cost
50$
and
the CPU+ram 400 more. Done... No 1000+$ hardware expenses... And i got
room for lots more drivers (compared to a minimac)...
...
cheers
Xavier
