Comparing Linux and Windows power draw: Tom Henderson
Tom Henderson tested Linux vs. Windows power consumption on several modern servers with power-saving hardware and firmware features. Result: A Linux mail server, running sendmail and procmail, beat Microsoft Windows running Exchange. But was the Linux box accepting mail at the same rate as the Windows box?
