A Comparison of Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD Kernel

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the sibling-rivalry dept.

v1x writes "An article at OpenSolaris examines three of the basic subsystems of the kernel and compares implementation between Solaris 10, Linux 2.6, and FreeBSD 5.3. From the article: 'Solaris, FreeBSD, and Linux are obviously benefiting from each other. With Solaris going open source, I expect this to continue at a faster rate. My impression is that change is most rapid in Linux. The benefits of this are that new technology has a quick incorporation into the system.'"

    " A Comparison of Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD Kernel"

    One is crunchy, the other's chewy, and the last is malt flavoured.

    The article was a little bit short and without sufficient substance to be noteworthy on slashdot, I think.
