Hello!

Planning to deploy some WMS boxes for live (re)streaming (several streams, no files). What OS would give me the best performance?

Some time ago I had problems running WMS on Gentoo, which came out in high CPU load on high bandwidth (400mbps+). Running WMS on the same hardware on Win2k3 gives me up to 800mbps (2500 connections), and the load grows linear.

Should I stay with Win (looking towards Win2k8 R2) or there is a better way?

Thanks.
