great goobers of gahness. it's like comparing windows to any other operating system. I have never understood running Linux as a server based platform when FreeBSD and OpenBSD do it so much better. I'm pretty sure the only reason people even bothered with Linux to begin with was because it was

Hi, Recently there was a culomn in byte.com by Moshe Bar, and his tests seemed to show that FreeBSD-4.1.1 could still beat the Linux 2.4.0 kernel. The test machine was a 2-way SMP machine, running the a giant locked FreeBSD-4.1.1 kernel and also a fine-locked 2.4.0 Linux kernel. Here's the link:
