The Best Windows File Server: Linux!
By Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols & Eric Carr, Sm@rt Reseller
[TABLE NOT SHOWN] NetBench 5.01 shows how well a network operating
system does at the mundane task of file serving, by measuring Wintel
file input/output. Natively, Linux doesn't work with DOS/Windows
files, but Samba, an open-source Server Message Block (SMB) client
and
server that ships with all commercial Linuxes, provides that
capacity.
And how!
You might think that Linux would operate at a disadvantage here, but
Linux kicks NT's butt. Only at the lightest loads does NT hold any
advantage over the Linuxes. Once the load moves to 12 clients, all
the
Linux platforms take commanding leads over NT. At 32 clients, SuSE,
the weakest Linux, has more than double NT's throughput, and Red
Hat,
the leader, extends its lead to almost 250 percent of NT's
performance.
