[SuSE Linux] Linux vs NT

Thanks for pointing to this article.

This is a nice number playing game. It is still strange to see such different results. But without a detailed configuration report, this could be everything. "...over the Linuxes. Once the load moves to 12 clients, all the Linux platforms take commanding leads over NT. At 32 clients, SuSE, the weakest Linux, has more than double NT's throughput, and Red Hat, the leader, ^^^^^^ extends its lead to almost 250 percent of NT's performance." ^^^ Hmm, why does he compare 'double' (2) with '250'? Psychological effect? This article is a nice piece of ZD marketing. IMHO they are slightly biased...

I'll say. There's a lot in what people _don't_ say and what/who they leave out or how they 'spin' the news.

Yeh, I was thinking about the Linux related news, though. :-) .... it seems like Linux is being a colorful media toy, and the 'spin' on alot of the stuff is a mixture of FUD and b.s. IMHO-- questionable reporting. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
There was a major sporting event carried out last week between the USA and the Soviet Union. As it was very, very tough the scores were designed to be very low. The final score was the USA: 1; Soviet Union: 0. Picking up a Soviet paper one read a very brief account of the sporting event only to find the final score at the end of the article. It went something like this: "The USA scored only one point, while the Soviet Union finished in second place." Get my point......? Bob BTW, this is from an old joke so please read it as I apply it! :-) Lenz Grimmer wrote:

I'm not sure what is meant by "least effective," but one thing I am sure of is if its installation is smooth and it runs reliably, has a wide variety of apps it works for me. As I don't experiment, at least not yet, it is difficult to make real comparisons. Bob Kaare Rasmussen wrote:
