I had compared packing on our previous generation SUN cluster with packing on a Linux server. The Linux server was about 4 times faster. But our system administrators have a very strong preference for SUN hardware. They told me that SUN has a much better IO subsystem and that this will become obvious when the system is under load. My personal opinion is that they can buy SUN support such that within a few hours all problems will be fixed by SUN while for Linux they can not get this level of support -- and therefore they prefer SUN. But, that's just my assumption (I do not have a proof). -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
