|From the benchmarks on the net, Linux seems almost twice as fast as Solaris.

Unfortunately, they only benchmarked Solaris 2.5, not 2.5.1 - the
Pentium/PPro-optimized release. (How much of a difference this
makes in these benchmarks I can't say, but it should close some
of that difference - although since they don't say which Linux
they benchmarked either, it would be nice to know if it had the
old, slow network code or the new & improved stuff.)
