Chuck,

Linux now runs on UltraSparc hardware. This has obviously made it possible
to do completely fair benchmarks on the same hardware.

Linux was a fair bit faster than Solaris, although both are pretty good
performers. I'm still most interested in Linux vs. Digital tho :)

The Linux vs. Solaris on UltraSparc benchmark comparisions are lying
around on the web somewhere. A semi-inteligent search on yahoo, etc.
should find it.

Cheers
Chris
