“When we received the latest releases of Caldera’s OpenLinux and
Red Hat, we thought it was time to check their performances vs.
Windows NT’s — especially in light of the recently disputed NT vs.
Linux benchmark performed by the Mindcraft performance-testing lab.
Using the latest revision of the InfoWorld Test Center’s file and
print benchmark, we looked at file and print performance on Red Hat
6.0 and Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4. We had intended to look
at Caldera’s Open Linux 2.2 as well, but unfortunately Caldera
could not recognize our AMI RAID controller.”
“Based on our observation of the server, NT would have been more
comparable to Red Hat if it did not have to handle printing duties
in addition to file serving. Where Red Hat swallowed print jobs as
fast as they came, the queue grew longer and longer under NT during
the course of the test, distracting the server from file
sharing.”
