It's at the wall:
What's the wall? I couldn't find that text anywhere on the page you linked to, so I'm assuming this "wall" thing is not on that page. For all testing, the Watts Up Pro power meter was used watts up proOh, I get you now. The wall as in where the sockets plug into.

now that ASIC mining is on the near horizon with dedicated mining software like cgminer and bfgminer, i assume the clear answer is now Linux?

I would think so, because you don't need to tweak or OC your ASICs like you do with GPUs. I am currently using Windows because I cannot OC with linux. When I see working ASICs I will buy some and use linux.

When you tried using linux did you use cgminer to control your OC or ati utilities? Once I had a handle on getting the drivers installed properly and using cgminer to control the GPU OC's I have had a way more stable setup then any attempts at mining with windows.

difference is insignificant
We are using windows to test each card and edit their BIOS if needed before we put them in the final rigs in datacenters. Our 5850s are running at 965/300, the 5970s at 865/300. When running phoenix on windows with the same sdk and settings we use on BAMT we get ~370MH per gpu core. BAMT gives exactly 400MH per core. That's almost 10 percents, so not that insignificant I think.

what dependencies does cgminer require in Ubuntu? I'm not sure exactly what the minimum dependencies would be.. I have used this writeup/guide many times now using Xubuntu, Ubuntu and also Pinguy (Ubuntu based) It has worked well every time for me and proved the most reliable method. I use the exact drivers specified in this, substitute the most recent cgminer. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gw7YPYgMgNNU42skibULbJJUx_suP_CpjSEdSi8_z9U/edit?pli=1

Windows is a PAIN IN THE ARSE QFT. ...for mining, anyways. I run 42 rigs and when I was running Windows for 7970s, it was a royal pain in the arse. Linux makes my life MUCH easier.

You need to use the OS that you are most comfortable with. Anyone can follow some directions and set up a windows/linux miner, but if you don't at least have a basic understanding of the underlying OS that can be an issue. What do you do when you have some sort of problem with your miner? If it takes you 30 minutes to figure out how to display what the machine IP address is or show what services are using, you might want to pick something you are more familiar with.

Same here. I don't get viruses, don't even have firewall or anti-virus installed!
