[diskussion] Linux miljöklassad i studie.

[Jens Odsvall]

Linux är miljöklassad ;-)

Linux captures the "green" flag, beats Windows 2008 power saving measures

<http://www.networkworld.com/research/2008/060908-green-windows-linux.html>

"Independent tests show that Red Hat Linux pulls as much as 12% less power than Windows 2008 on identical hardware"

Inte bara Red Hat, utan även andra distributioner som SUSE. Säkerligen
fler än så. Men det studien täcker, är 'enterprise versioner'. (Vad det
nu kan vara för något).

Ursprungligen från Matthew Garretts blogg.

"What's interesting is that this is running on the current set of enterprise distributions, so it's missing functionality like the tickless kernel and cpuidle. 
Within the next year or so we should be seeing the Linux figures drop by significant margins. 
As companies start becoming interested in either reducing their energy costs or cramming more hardware into the same machine rooms, 
power efficiency becomes an important factor to consider when you're choosing the OS you're going to be running for the next 5 years. 
Linux is the right choice now, and that's going to be even more obvious in the near future."
