[chat] Linux vs Solaris

[Crossfire <xfire@xxxxxxxx>]

Just finished a lmbench3 shootout between Solaris 9 and Linux 2.4.20.

Test machine was a Sun Ultra5 - 333Mhz Ultrasparc CPU, 256MBs RAM.  Stock 9GB
HDD.

10 iterations were run.

Both machines were fresh installs.  The linux machine was running 
debian/stable with a 2.4.20 kernel.  The Solaris9 machine was running stock
with X11 stopped.

Neither the Linux nor Solaris machine were running "clean" (ie: nothing else
runnning).  I don't consider this to be a "scientific" benchmark.

anyway, the results summary is here:

Standard Disclaimers apply: if you think this is a license to slam solaris, it
isn't.  Similarly, the results could be crap, but its adequate for my needs :)
