When is comes to FP the SGI R10000 machines are the fastest out there.

However if you are looking for something that can handle that number of 
users linux is out of the question. We run 2000 users on a FreeBSD 
without even flinching or 100MBit ethernet that is averaging about 
60-70Mbit average. Under linux these were doing about 10-20Mbit average....

Just a statistic :)
