Well, does Linux really limit itself to 960MB of RAM as they claim? If so, I'd say it's not an unfair test to not limit NT to the same low memory use. If on the other hand they limited Linux to 960MB of RAM by not doing proper tuning, that's another matter... Guess I better go read up on the Linux people's opinion on the testing... /me To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
