From: a228dhal@cdf.toronto.edu (Dhaliwal Bikram Singh) Subject: How does Linux compare to SUN IPC? Date: Wed, 22 Sep 1993 05:31:34 GMT
It has seemed to me that my Linux system at home (X and GCC running in
a 15mb partition, on a 386-40, with room to spare) is faster than the
SUN IPC workstations I use at school. I can only offer subjective
speculation though, ie. time for a xterm to open, etc...
I was wondering, if anyone has done benchmarks between the two for
various processors. I am not saying that Linux is better, it still
has a ways to go before it can match the all around appeal of the SUN.
Thanks.
