I've seen claims that the Linux wasn't set up very well on the test 
system, that the test was paid-for by the Evil Empire...


One thing I'm sure of: if the test wasn't done with a 2.2 kernel, it's not 
worth the paper it's written on.


Some other information wasn;t entirely accurate: 2 Gb RAM may be the limit 
on Intel (I simply don't know), but on 64-bit platforms?
