[conspire] Benchmarking Solaris Express versus Ubuntu: Sun Licensing Issue?

[Mark Weisler]

Hi all,
I ran across an interesting benchmark indicating that Ubuntu may outperform 
Solaris Express in one area at least.

http://fridge.ubuntu.com/

What is also interesting is that this is a public performance comparison to a 
Sun product. If I recall correctly, Sun has restrictions prohibiting someone 
using their equipment and then publishing benchmarks or comparison 
statistics. I know this prohibition is a factor in making public any 
performance statistics of Sun's LDAP server and how it compares to offerings 
not from Sun.

Maybe Ubuntu headquartering offshore on the Isle of Man gives a degree of 
legal immunity. Anyway, the truth will out.
