Very interesting, although I believe that FreeBSD can be but quick and mo= re=20 efficient that Linux under CERTAIN CONDITIONS. For example: last year I u= sed=20 a PC-386-DX40 with 8 Mb RAM and HD 300 MB, 4 NIC 10 Mbit (Realtek ISA PNP= )(2=20 public + 2 private) to carry out the following tasks: - Routing - DNS for 47 domains + 2 segments (reverse), and query for 180 LAN user= s - NAT over 2 private segments - Firewall with bandwidth control (ipfw + ipdivert) - PPTPD - Radius (cistron) - SSHD - Proftpd All this running successfully in FreeBSD 4.0 without inconveniences.=20 Linux was installed in a similar machine, but it didn't support the load = well=20 (and it was 30% slow in console).=20 I didn't make the test with windows. That box had an uptime of 85 days until I retired it.
