Hang on, that's like comparing what tastes more like an apple, an orange 
or a bannana.
Netware was built to be a server. Nothing else, therefor performance 
wise Netware will always will.
NT started as windows 3 a client package and turned into a server (of sorts).
Linux is your "do everything" OS. Runs as a client well, also runs as a 
server well.

It depends on what you want to do with "a server" do you want to just 
run file services or printer service or application services etc etc..
