Speaking of Ubuntu: Ubuntu Linux on Niagara T2000 outperforms Solaris Express and Solaris 10 on Apache web serving

This shows just how well Linux is positioned technically to take advantage of massive core and thread counts as the processor technologies scale out-within. On hardware not designed for Linux and against a HW+OS stack vendor who you assume has done quite a bit of tuning, it’s quite an impressive performance feat for Linux. Way to go Ubuntu.
