Re: Linux -v- NT for 8.0.5 + OAS 4.0.7 + Apache/IIS ??

1. Why NT for the database server? I have test it: identical machines, Oracle 8.0.5 NT4 SP3 vs SuSe Linux 6.0 i have used a benchmark test from ix, (www.heise.de/ix)

Linux is in some cases a little bit slower, but in summary much faster than NT (on single Prozessor Machines)

2)
Why NT as a os for the webserver? Take a look to www.heise.de/ct there are the latest (!!!not microsoft sponsored!!!) performance results.
