+        
+    <div class="article">
+    <p><a href="http://www.flexbeta.net/main/index.php">Flexbeta</a> has 
+    posted a comparision of SLES9 and Windows 2003 server.  The 
+    article includes an "out-of-the-box" comparison of Windows and SLES file
+    sharing speeds (using netbench). The results look good for Samba:</p>
+
+    <blockquote>With this hardware Windows 2003 Server seems to max out 
+    on performance at approximately 30 Clients with a throughput of 
+    about 135Mbps, where SLES seems to max out on performance at 
+    approximately 60 Clients with a throughput of about 255Mbps. The response
+    time is also about twice as fast on SLES9 than on Win2k3 on the 
+    same hardware. So, in theory, you can handle twice as many clients on
+    the same hardware using SLES9 compared to using Windows 2003
+    Server.</blockquote>
+
+    <p>Also:</p>
+
+    <blockquote>Novell's SLES9 pretty much more than doubles the performance 
+    of Microsoft's Windows 2003 Server on the exact same hardware in both 
+    categories. This is very, very impressive, and shows the strengths of 
+    both Samba and the Linux kernel [...]</blockquote>
