Re: Avoid Windows NT for database server - says the White paper!!

They may be the Interbase mongers, but I gotta tell you, after all the large scale load testing I've done on HP UX boxes and NT, I think they're right. NT sucks gerbils through straws by comparison.

My one criticism is that I can't really see any slowdown due to the GUI.

I'm going to have to go buy myself Linux Redhat today I think... :)

Regards,

Nigel
