Linux on XXXX
A couple of years ago, people who would claim or hope that Linux will survive the corporate world were looked at as wishful thinkers and they were jeered at.

Now Linux is supported on almost anything. Low-end PC to high-end supercomputers and clusters. The good news is that the 2.6 kernel looks more and more like industrial strength UNIX.

At the same time desktop platforms are being challenged to prove their true value in terms of cost and productivity vs. fluff and bloat.

Interesting times...

How about prices - Linux on Power vs. Mac on Power (G5)? (NT)  Vily Clay | 01/21/04
How about the price of apples vs. the price of oranges? (NT)  Immanuel Tranz-Mischen | 01/21/04
what?  doh123 | 01/21/04
(NT) I thought the Power5 and G5 were functionally equivalent. Hmmm.  dicktaurus@... | 01/21/04
nope  doh123 | 01/21/04
Can you compare servers - Linux Power vs. Apple Power? (NT)  Vily Clay | 01/21/04
Yes - if you choose suitable benchmarks  Fred Fredrickson | 01/21/04
What do customers care about? Benchmarks?  Vily Clay | 01/21/04
Yep, but real equiv. is unlikely; e.g., that MacG5 vs. Xeon comparison...  dicktaurus@... | 01/21/04
Apps/performance but not benchmarks attract customers and sales.  Vily Clay | 01/21/04
i wouldn't know but...  stephen732@... | 01/21/04
Linux = Power5's make for a VERY sensible value proposition.  dicktaurus@... | 01/21/04
