,----[ Quote ]
| "With Linux, the operating system is
| effectively free," says Phil Cox, principal
| consultant with SystemExperts. "With
| Microsoft, there are licensing fees for any
| version, so cost is a factor." And relative
| to any physical hardware platform, Linux
| performance appears to be about 25% faster,
| Cox says.
