[cod] Linux vs. Windows

[Ken]

We run both, a windows 2000 server and a linux fc1. For UO as of right now
runs better on Windows than on our linux. We can get about 30 people playin
tdm on the old maps with no lag(used to be 50 but...) But right when we
switch to the new maps and dom or bas. Cpu goes nutz and maybe we can get 24
with good performance. Windows we can do 34 no problem, but the same box
would run a 54 users plus a 20 user private. So as of now I think Windows is
a better choice for UO.

As not beeing the hardcore Linux guy I ask you to give me some short
informations about your experiances.
At the moment we have a ded. Linux server and we are concidering to get
another one. Windows would be a lot easier for me to administrate, so
therefore the question.
Does a Linux Server has really so much more performance as a Win Server?
Please do not reply if you only want to say "Win sux!", or to tell me that I
am making it to easy for me.
I am just not able to have a comparison between a Win and a Linux machine
for Games (on the same Hardware)..

Thanks for your help.
