I wouldn't be surprised if Linux runs better than Solaris for the same
hardware, as
you should see how quick this OS evolve. Solaris server may look better in
performance because of the hardware differences. In tradition the machines
from
the big Unix vendors like HP and Sun all have much better memory bus speed
comparing to Intel motherboards, and Linux performance spec on the Alpha
platform
would be very interesting to me.
