It doesn't take much of a TCP/IP stack to have a download speed. One
advantage of linux over win9.x series (including me) is that it adapts
parameters to maximize throughput. But that being said, the cable ISPs
have already made modifications so that much of that advantage is
minimized anyway.

The TCP/IP stack in linux is a more robust and more complete stack then
win9.x. It is probably superior to NT4.0 The jury is out in regards to
win2k. Then again, win2k uses a modified form of the freebsd stack.
