It must be FD2 config.

I've run the same databases on RH 7.1 and Win2k, with the machines being identical ( Dell PowerEdge 2550, 2 gig RAM)

Well, not quite identical. The Win2k box has more disks, and was running only one database.

The RH box was running 4 databases, 2 very active.

And it was still faster than the Win2k.

The revelation came from the developers from a 3rd party company that were working in house to upgrade a system. The 2 databases they needed to do the migration were housed on my Linux DBA box.

Developers: "This is fast! Can we run production on this machine?"

Me: No.
