Re: Does anyone run test win vs. linux and can share how muchfaster is linux than windows, please?

        Would you please follow RFC 1855 in your answers? It's a bit confusing to read your answers without any clear marking of what you wrote and what you're answering to.

        I was trying to be more generic -- Linux is just a part of an open system, and just one of several free software implementations of open systems. And being an open system helps regardless of code itself being proprietary or free; there are degrees of proprietariness.

        We are also ignoring other factors, such as centralised systems (Unix big machines, mainframes) being better catered for, maturity...

        Not necessarily, but tending to. And surely in experience, especially if you consider on one hand proprietary implemenations of proprietary systems, on the other free software implementations of open systems, and in the middle -- and much more mature -- proprietary implementations of open systems.

        Let's leave it at that. I am speaking from experience, but then I can tell you my whole career and that wouldn't be statistically valid data.
