Seriously I would like to see or hear about the comparison chart

Surely one of the other BSDs (OpenBSD as 1st choice, NetBSD as
second), maybe some of the more "UNIX-like" Linusi (the "too
complicated" ones, maybe those relying on source), and of course
Solaris and Mac OS X are worth mentioning here. Those systems
could be productive and good to maintain if FreeBSD should ever
disappear.
ciao,
i reference to rule #10 of RFC1925 that states :
<<One size never fit all>>
from my point of view it is a truth also in OS, not only in networking.
as long as my goal is a videogame station the "quality" OS maybe very
different from the one i will consider "qualitative" for a webfarm.
in short the goal drives choice, and from my experience (over 35 years
in IT) FreeBSD is the best-fit for use in internetworking, partially due
to his resilence, partially for the overall quality of the kernel,
partially for the ease-of-use, the ease-to-understood, open-source
software availability and more "minor" properties
it is relatively simple to build and maintain a webfarm with FreeBSD as
the *exclusive* OS without fear of "hackers", spam, virus and almost all
internet-zoo.
in short : i *love* FreeBSD, if ever it will die feel there are more and
more volunteers to bulid a new one that will honour the "twelve
networking rules"
cheers
Alessandro
