Yet another Solaris v. Linux performance comparison
Friday Sep 22, 2006
I forget about this Solaris and Linux comparison on database performance Even has a PDF you can download with more info... http://www.sun.com/smi/Press/sunflash/2006-04/sunflash.20060421.2.xml
I know of a bunch of new results comparing Solaris & Linux (not on little OS tests but on whole applications) I saw an email about them, but they are not public yet so soon. Really use whatever OS that fits your need, but investigate them so you can make informed decisions and not just emotional ones.
Reminder, even Google is looking at Solaris over Linux (and those engineers want the best at a low price): http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9003492&intsrc=article_more_side
If I was going to attack an OS I would pick HP-UX and/or AIX, but those aren't open and are getting marginalized quickly because of this. deadman walking?
