HP Announces First Linux Cluster TPC-C Benchmark with Oracle and Red Hat

Enterprise Linux Today ^ | Sep 16, 2002

$17.21/tpmC which puts them right at number 5 with thier very first Linux entry.

I find it notable that it beats out the Windows 2K offering running on identical hardware.

The last bastions of Microsoft benchmarks are falling in front of the Linux competition.

The Penguin Ping.

Got root?

What personal computer company is selling a OEM linux based desktop with a suite of applications compatible to the linux OS?

Red Hat Linux Advanced Server is ready for robust, high-performance, highly available, enterprise-level applications,"

Could you throw some more management buzzwords in there?

Thanks for the ping - good news for open source!

I'm not quite sure what you mean.

While I know I can buy a stripped machine and add item by item the Linux system and some linux based software, I am unaware of any OEM that is selling it whole, pre-loaded. Are you aware of such a pairing?

[james_hayes]

How about Dell.

Check out post #7. It's got tons

I know that there is a hardware company contracted with Lindows that does this. I'm not aware of any others.

[KC Burke]

thanks for the link, and you are right, there are now plenty of hardware systems pre-bundled.

Cool. We'e got a cluster here at work. I think we are above 200 nodes now.

Is this a trick question? < /grin>

LMFAO! Look at the top 3, troll: Win2K and SQL 2000.

Before you get too euphoric, look at the top 4 and weep:

And another thing... look at the availability date: Next year!!!

[RightOnline]

You miss the point. Linux is NOT aimed at the general PC market.........either for the home user or even for the average "business" user. When it comes to Intel platforms (desktop, deskside), it IS aimed squarely at the TECHNICAL desktop (think "UNIX replacement") and is kicking major ass.

[RightOnline]

Nope. Not Dell. Servers and workstations only.

[Knitebane]

Wow! MS pulls a better score on faster hardware! Wow!

But running on identical hardware, Linux runs faster, as shown by the chart.

Gee, I wonder what will happen when they put Linux on the same hardware as the number one scoring system?

Nice spin attempt, but once again, your FUD doesn't stand up to the light of day.

Back into your crack, cockroach, the lightswitch is on.
