and boy..is it good hardware! ever seen a blade server? I havent - but i hear they are real cool! ;-)
I have heard it's good. But who knows it may actually run faster on Linux. Just shooting arrows in the dark. ;-)
Talk to IBM and they will show you a comparison. BTW, if you buy a rack of half pizza servers from ibm, they give you a server cluster management software (I think that is what it is called), to manamge all of them remotely......And the software is Linux. In fact, I remember them telling me that they have choosen a special version (I dont think I can call it a distro) and modified it so that it can run and manage their servers seamlessly, fast and easily (very user friendly)
