See, I said that Linux was not a typical Unix system :-)
In fact Linux is yet another reminder that quality of sotware is
not necessarily directly proportional to cost!
What is interesting too is the performance of Linux, even on a modest
PC, it can give a Sun work station user quite a surprise in this
regard -- I pushed to get Linux-PC' for our students here at NYU,
and that's where I see this comparison made.

Linux is one of the more heavily used ports of GNAT. Not a lot of
commercial users yet, not surprisingly, but judging from email we
receive, a very widely used port.
