[KLUG Members] Is Linux faster than Windows?

[Bill Katsma]

Hello,

There is alot that goes into an OS being better than another and one may be
better than the other in certain areas.  I am sure that most of you know
what I mean by that.  But is Linux a better performer when it comes to pure
speed? and why?  Now that PTC has developed pro-e to run on Linux I would
love to put the same box running Windows and Linux head to head.  What do
you think would be the out come?

A lot of animation houses made the switch I hear that FEA vendors are making
the move.  And now I am starting to hear more Linux talk come from some of
my
vendors that push CAD related software/hardware.

Any thoughts
