To put an end to the needless debate I ran a clear and rescan on a
subset of my library using the same release of SC on Windows Server 2003
and Ubuntu 9.04 32 bit (my Desktop OS). To be clear, the W2k3 box
doesn't have any firewall, AV or like software installed - it's
basically a bare bones w2k3
There is one big advantage with Linux, it's how it handles the memory.
It never use a swap file unless it runs out of memory and it has never
happend on my machine with 512MB ram.
Windows always use a swap file no matter how much memory it has.
My recommendation is the next time you rebuild you

Why? What do you expect to find? Why does it matter?
Which ever is faster is only going to be somewhat faster. Since Linux is
free, it doesn't cost anything but time to try it and see if you think
its faster. What the rest of the world things is irrelevant.

I would not expect a definitive answer. And its not clear that any
answer is generally true in
I looked at the FAQ and there was nothing there that addressed this.
Searching the fora, I couldn't find anything specific to query speed or
HTTP server speed under Linux either. There's lots of discussions RE:
Linux on various topics but I had no luck finding XP vs LINUX
performance metrics. C
In general in a multiuser environment I agree.
But this is single access to me and I wanted to be sure so used 777 to
see if it was the solution. The wiki advice was rw to all users I
believe. It is at the bottom of the wiki on installing SC on linux
heading Permissions issues with linux.

You do not want to apply 777 to any files or directories on linux. This
is very dangerous, where did you find these instructions?

Did you apply "777" permissions to the directories in addition to the
files? If you only applied it to the FLAC files, this may be your
problem.

You will be underutilizing this machine if you load up Ubuntu and use it

barely put a load on the CPU.

run Wine (a Linux Windows emulator). I recall read

Yes, you can copy the prefs file from the Windows installation to the
