FreeBSD 8.0 vs. Ubuntu 9.10 Benchmarks

An anonymous reader writes "Phoronix has brought benchmarks comparing the FreeBSD 8.0-RC and Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 6 operating systems. FreeBSD rather ends up taking a wallop to Ubuntu Linux, but there are a few areas where FreeBSD 8 ran well. They also posted benchmarks comparing this near-final FreeBSD 8.0 build to that of FreeBSD 7.2 to show performance improvements there but with a few regressions."

    Well that depends, if you want to compare Open Office benchmarks, then you will be waiting until Ubuntu 10.04 comes out.

    Uhm, so you choose to ignore the available facts and prefer ad-hocs arguments as to why FreeBSD may be better. Then again, most of those ad-hoc arguments are simply wrong: Ubuntu has good documentation (man pages have not been replaced by info), it has long term releases, a package management that makes stripping down to the bare essentials easy (although Ubuntu certainly isn't meant for that: you'll want Debian instead), you slander the FSF while pretending you don't like politics.

    Really, you argue like an idiot fanboy, who, seeing his favourite team beaten in a test, makes up others criteria by which his team will win.
