FreeBSD 8.0 vs. Ubuntu 9.10 Benchmarks

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the two-oses-enter-two-oses-leave dept.

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."

  1. benchmark fail! by timmarhy · · Score: 0, Troll
    i'm used to piss poor comparisions on the internet, but this one still somehow managed to suprise me.

    "FreeBSD was also using the default UFS file-system while Ubuntu 9.10 is running with EXT4." TRY RUNNING THE SAME FILESYSTEM YOU FUCKING MORONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the only benchmarks freebsd lost in were O/I intensive tasks, so all this showed is ufs2 is slower then ext4 in some cases.

    epic fail.

    Yep. Ubuntu is Linux.

    That's only one of the reasons why those of us who want a real operating system, use BSD.

    Not to mention a real license. :P
