- Linux = Power5's make for a VERY sensible value proposition.
-
Linux has been available for Power4's for a
while. I believe the IBM R&D was with the aim
to run code for the Power5 processor
(MacG5).
I would guess that the popular "Mac on Linux"
(MOL) may benefit from that work, to run OSX
with OSX-specific 64-Bit code on the G5 for
Mac people. - Posted by: dicktaurus@... Posted on: 01/21/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
How about prices - Linux on Power vs. Mac on Power (G5)? (NT)

Can you compare servers - Linux Power vs. Apple Power? (NT)

Yes - if you choose suitable benchmarks

What do customers care about? Benchmarks?
Vily Clay | 01/21/04

Yep, but real equiv. is unlikely; e.g., that MacG5 vs. Xeon comparison...

Apps/performance but not benchmarks attract customers and sales.
