Byte: FreeBSD vs Linux Revisited

Posted by michael on from the no-holds-barred dept.

Beerwolff writes: "This time I have remembered the link to the Byte article that's a follow-up to two of Moshe Bar's previous articles comparing FreeBSD and Linux--This time with the new Linux VM. His Apache "results show that Linux is better at handling I/O cache than FreeBSD, and that FreeBSD is more efficient at building up and tearing down processes."" As usual, please take benchmarks with a grain of salt, caveat emptor, look before you leap, and so forth.

    The obvious question would be "what kind of an idiot puts Mandrake on a server?" FreeBSD is obviously a far better choice, but so is Debian, Red Hat, maybe even Slackware...

    I always choose my tools using the following rules:

    1. Use the Right Tool for the Job
    2. The right tool is never microsoft (unless the job is defined as "screwing things up massively")
    3. When in doubt, refer to rule 2.


    (Of course, I wasn't always this enlightened.)

    It's just another stupid OS jihad that doesn't matter.

    You're apparently some sort of media drone; perhaps you should reevaluate yourself before you criticize the media.

    Please look up what Jihad means. It's not about war; it's about striving.

    Here's a link to get you started:
