Linux File System Shootout

IpSo_ writes "Finally an extensive, human readable Linux file system benchmark has been unleashed upon us. Originally posted on the Linux Kernel mailing list, using two of the most popular benchmarking tools available, it compares all the major file systems, including their different mount options. The results are surprising."

Actually USING Redhat is what made me sort around for another distro. -Two major versions in a very short period of time that were largely incompatible when using third party software -Internally inconsistent administration tools that aren't available in text-mode only linux. (Why install X11 on an IDS sensor?) That say they do someing then don't. (Wireless network configuration.) -really borked package management. Yeah, you can _add_ apt-get to Redhat, but you get some oddities case it's added on. I'm really glad you made your decision for you and the people you support. I don't have access to you and have found that I got a heck of a lot further on my own with Suse. The other thing that REALLY bugs me is: resier isn't available on BSD. So I either have to learn two different distros (linux and bsd based) for internal and external use, or use something externally that has a much worse track record (NetBSD is nice and safe in the wild/ linux is very popular and 'more hackable')
