Some on Linux, some on FreeBSD (it's planned to migrate the Linux ones to FreeBSD in the nearer future). All of them are fast and at an incredible price. If you want to have the best perfomance, go for a SuperSocket 7 mainboard with VIA MVP3 and 1 Mb 2nd level cache. Or, if you don't mind spending some extra bucks: go for AMDs new Duron CPU which rocks like hell...
