The latter shows "Windows Server 2008/Red Hat Linux"; I assume both
were used with that hardware, seperately, and it made no difference at
all? So the application overwhelmed the impact of the OS, to as much
precision as say 89.59? Wow.<br>

<br> I'd be more interested in a comparison of that many whatever, quad core<br> xeon? running linux vs MS's running Cluster Server 2008. CP/M could be a<br> pretty powerful OS if it ran on enough nodes :-) and of course I think of XP<br>
