Could we stop this bigotry?
Until someone can demonstrate Linux runs on 2 or even 4-way systems as good as Solaris, I would rather not hear this chest pounding junk.
I figure any remotely modern laptop could probably compute rings around any of these boxes with much lower power usage, cooling and space requirements.
Ummm, I would actually very much _differ_ with that for many applications. Most notebook processors have very limited interconnects and greatly reduced performance for power, as well as slower memory, disk, etc..., typically resulting in only 1/2 - 1/3rd the nominal power of a desktop (especially when on battery and a P4 or an older Athlon slows to under 1GHz).
