Comparing Linux and Windows power draw: Tom Henderson
Tom Henderson tested Linux vs. Windows power consumption on several modern servers with power-saving hardware and firmware features. Result: A Linux mail server, running sendmail and procmail, beat Microsoft Windows running Exchange. But was the Linux box accepting mail at the same rate as the Windows box? And were both OSs syncing the incoming mail to disk? Linux users had questions about the test on LinuxWorld.com, blogs, and LWN, and Tom answers them. (17:39)
