Submitted-by: david@cis.ohio-state.edu (David L. Summerville) [ I don't know what the appropriate set of newsgroups is for this posting. I've redirected it to comp.std.misc. -comp.std.unix moderator ] My organization is beginning a "Tier-II Assessment". The goal is to define what the Corporation needs in terms of computing services for sub-divisions of 170 users and under. Perhaps a Unix solution will accomodate our needs. Are there objective benchmarks that we can use or purchase to assess "Price/Performance" for Unix machines? I'm looking for something as vendor-independent as possible. -- Thank You. David L.
