These are advanced benchmarks and the difference will depend mostly on how you do your setup, partitions, kernel configurations, etc. eg xfs raw (sp?) mode is real fast but maybe it's not what you need, there are lots of fs choices, if you want softupdates, maybe you don't need journaling either? Same for apache and smtp. Sure some apps may run better on one OS kernel vs the other; but a bang for buck comparison will cost more in evaluation time and hardware than you will save, unless you are deploying a _lot_ of servers _and_ you already know what parameters/software you need to tune them too. really, the biggest factors for making a choice are administration preference, security philosophy, available software, and culture -- the 'Unix' technical specs will be pretty close. // George -- George Georgalis, Admin/Architect cell: 646-331-2027 <IXOYE>< Linux Infrastructure, Security mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Services, Multimedia and Metrics. http://www.galis.org/george
