Would you recommend Linux (Gentoo, kernel 2.6) or FreeBSD?
What are the advantages of using FreeBSD?
mod_perl runs fine on both. You're best off asking Gentoo or FreeBSD
user groups for their opinions on the other apps.
But i will offer this from personal experience:
The FreeBSD ports system is really easy to use, and easy to keep
machines up to date with. mod_perl ports tend to be made available
within hours of source release, thanks to Phillip who is maintaining
both a chunk of the mp/libapreq code AND the FreeBSD port-- for me
that was a huge selling point.
I find linux , lately, has offered a bit more options for debugging
and tracing memory, so i've been running a test server with ubuntu.
I've been really happy with it- its like debian, but with packages
that are well maintained.
