Tired of the scalability lie
by Chris Cox on Tue 16th Sep 2003 16:42 UTC

Realize that Sun's "scalability" isn't so much from running the antiquated, bloated pig, 1988, SVR4-like Solaris.. but it comes from the HW architecture. What's weird is that Linux is begining to scale on the grotesque x86 architecture to the point of competing head-to-head with Sun which owns their architecture. Sun should beat Linux on x86 to a pulp.. the fact that it doesn't is a tribute to the work done in Linux and the LACK of work on Solaris.
