“Today, …your perfect server should be built around
processors from Intel’s new Pentium III family. Though
relatively inexpensive, these chips are gradually approaching the
performance levels of many RISC chips…”
“With these chips, you’ll get great performance running NetWare,
Windows NT 4.0, or the increasingly popular Linux. Windows NT is
preferable if you’ll be running lots of server-based applications,
while–if you have the know-how–Linux is ideal for executing
certain Web functions such as Domain Name Service (DNS) or the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).”
