Kim, Heres some statistics, ripped from www.suse.com In a recent survey conducted by the Information Technology Intelligence Corporation, respondents reported SUSE Linux Enterprise Server exhibited on average 17.4 minutes of unplanned downtime per server per year. Compare this with 35.4 minutes for Oracle Solaris, 67.2 minutes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and 145.2 minutes for Windows Server 2008. The same study found that the average time to patch a server (planned downtime) with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server was 15 minutes, versus 31 minutes for Solaris, 27 minutes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux and 32 minutes for Windows Server 2008. By minimizing both planned and unplanned downtime with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, your business gains more access to the applications, systems and data it depends on to generate revenues and stay competitive. Hope this helps Richard

Does we (or others) have such a statistic? I would love comparing both OS´s in different areas, foremost stability.

Such numbers are not available and, even then, how would those be collected in the first place ? * what's a crash? an application? the kernel? * using a beta or a stable? a package from the distro or an addon repo? And.. you will *never* get such numbers for Windows or Microsoft applications, that's for sure :) Actually, no one wants to collect and publish such numbers in the first place. cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- we haz green _\_v http://fosdem.org -- we haz conf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+owner@opensuse.org
