In a heated discussion with a Linux group, I was told
that the Opteron 64 from AMD was designed for the Linux Kernel, not for the NT kernel, hence better performance using
Linux. I ran across some speed tests done on http://www.yoper.com a NZ Linux group, and found a comparison chart for 22 distributions,notably Suse, Mandrake and the like. There seemed to be wild speed variations among
the different Linux kernels. Can any one help me on validating the statement about Opteron Architecture ?
