Hal 9000 stuurde een linkje naar dit artikel van CNN (geschreven door Network World Fusion), met een vergelijking van vier populaire netwerk besturingssystemen: Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Novell Netware 5.1, Red Hat Linux 6.1 en SCO UnixWare 7.1: "Wat blijkt: iedereen heeft gelijk wat betreft zijn favoriete OS ":
The bottom line is that these NOSes offer a wide range of characteristics and provide enterprise customers with a great deal of choice regarding how each can be used in any given corporate network.If you want a good, general purpose NOS that can deliver enterprise-class services with all the bells and whistles imaginable, then Windows 2000 is the strongest contender. However, for high performance, enterprise file and print services, our tests show that Novell leads the pack. If you're willing to pay a higher price for scalability and reliability, SCO UnixWare would be a safe bet. But if you need an inexpensive alternative that will give you bare-bones network services with decent performance, Red Hat Linux can certainly fit the bill.
The choice is yours.
