=> does anyone have experience with the performance of TIS Gauntlet running on
=> HP-UX vs. BSDI? we are looking to switch platforms because of the cost of
=> the hardware from HP. i understand it is difficult to compare different
=> platforms, but i would just like some general ideas. any web pointers would
=> also be greatly appreciated.

Depends on many things - what is the avg/max LA of HP system (and which one
do you use?) Intel-based machine is enough in most cases (although proxies
sometimes do not seem to work well on more than 10Mbit/s speed).

BTW i know some people who run Gauntlet on free unices ({Free|Open|Net}BSD,
can't remember which ones) and so cut off the O/S cost.. They can't use
the features provided by kernel patches but they say they do not need it.
