Abstract

In this paper, in a laboratory environment the performance of four different operating systems (Windows NT4, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Linux Fedora) are compared. The performance parameters measured are bandwidth and network delay. Linux Fedora provided the highest bandwidth for a file server at 17.1Mbps, Windows 2000 was fastest for a FTP (83.2Mbps), and Windows 2003 and Windows 2000 gave the highest bandwidth for a web server (4.3Mbps and 4.5Mbps respectively).
