Subject: [plug] freebsd vs linux :)

disclaimer: im not an anti-linux nor a freebsd advocate
cat flames 2>&1 /dev/null
not only believing as what they are saying about in your given url but also
tried to benchmark it on the lab as well as seeing its superiority on a real
heavy loaded production servers. given a certain load, linux is starting to
crawl while freebsd is asking for more on the same hardware. i have a
quadruple booting OS ( redhat 7.1, freebsd 4.3, solaris 8 and microsoft
windows 98 using LILO) on a single machine as my test bed. what i found out
are the followings:
1. tcp/ip stack of freebsd is faster than linux
2. vm of freebsd is optimize than linux
3. ufs with softupdates is faster than linux' ext2
4. thread time sharing of freebsd is better than linux
5. security of freebsd is more secure than linux
6. but linux smp is at slightly edge than freebsd (but freebsd is working on
it and watch out for freebsd 5.0)
but im still watching both of them (including solaris 8 and other OSes as
well) about their developments and performance. IMHO, freebsd is a matured,
stable and rock solid OS.

microsoft - "where do you want to go today?"
linux - "where do you want to go tomorrow?"
*BSD - "are you guys coming with us or what?!!!"
