I've got a dual boot of Linux/NT, and Linux certainly out performs NT on
this box.  What they've not discussed is the difference in stability.  I
can't tell you how many times NT has crashed on this box, I quit
counting.  I can't tell you how many times Linux has, because it hasn't,
ever.  And I use this box more for Linux then NT.
