This is a good read – integrating SLES9 into a domain environment. I like the performance figures on the high end servers “the performance difference dropped to SLES9 only being about 25% faster than Win2k3 on higher end server hardware”
We’re starting to see a lot of interest in companies replacing older Windows servers with Linux. I heard through a contact that Microsoft commisioned an internal report recently to gauge the amount of interest in Linux from around 100 Middle Eastern companies. While around 15% said they were using Linux today (big sigh of relief in Redmond), 92% said they would use Linux in the next year (sharp intake of breath).
