I'm using Windows x64 currently but I've got the itch to give Linux a shot due to it's lower overhead to run the OS and better memory management than XP64. I'm just curious what Linux other users on the forum are using to run Ansys. In particular those with AMD based systems running AMD64 Linux. I've been considering Red Hat. Any input would be appreciated. Also, if you have a comparison between the run times of Linux vs. XP64 that'd be interesting too.

Thanks in advance,
