In response to a comment on a different topic, Martin said "Especially when you are exceeding memory, then Linux is not the best operating system. One of the issues is that dirty pages are not properly flushed" Does the MonetDB team have a recommendation as to which OS would be best for running MonetDB? This is not a trick question, we currently use multiple OS's in our environment and would appreciate any advice. We currently run MonetDB on Linux. Thanks

Well its tricky to answer. As we use linux as our prime development platform. The limitation of linux is indeed bad, but its less of a problem then the missing 'spares' files on windows. We have not tested the implementation of solaris, bsd(s) including macos on this paticular issue. So even given the exceeding memory problem we (I) still recommand using linux. Niels
