Open Source OS Benchmarking Competition

BenchmarkingFreak writes "OSnews is running a story about a new benchmarking competition: OSU Open Source Lab wanted to take the concept of benchmarking a little bit further with the Beaver Challenge 2004. In this competition they will be allowing a community of experts in each OS to tweak their configurations to ensure maximum performance. And they are running it all on wicked machines, just imagine... well you know."

By having expert teams who know what they're doing tweak the configurations, this should be a much more representative result.

Unless BSD loses. Then the BSD dicks will have a field day saying its unfair. Watch and see if you don't believe me.

This is boring! It's all BSD and Linux! It would be really interesting to see how some of the new and completely from scratch open source stuff does too.
