hug... wakala...
I have PostgreSQL running in several boxes, since a clonic PIII400 , two
NetVista PIII800 and two NetFinity PIII 550.
All of them are Linux boxes, and obviously there are some performance
diferences related to the hardware, so I try hack hard to get best
performance posible in each case, but I never ever think to use a guindous
box to do serious work, especially if it is a guin98.
I hope you know that Linux 'n, FreeBSD are free and without costs, so why
pay for a cuasi-OS that is going to break your brain and make you live the
IT practice ? ? ?
Try it on Linux on the half hardware 'n tell us later.
Best for you and Greetings
