I kind of fail to see the point for shelling out ANY money.
Why not force them to produce hard "real life" figures instead of
benchmarks.
Like have them show us a novell server doing 12 million web hits in 24
hour period and compare that to yahoo's figure of 12 million hits in a 24
hour period on a PC with FreeBSD :)
Make THEM produce REAL WORLD figures and not benchmark mumbo jumbo.
I'll be surprised if any of them can server half as many as yahoo on any
hardware.
Benchmarks are pointless and only good for leading mindless sheep to the
slaughter house. IMO of course.
