Why benchmarks? The claim made by the original poster was, the new record proved the stability and usefullness of the free unices. Now, ftp.cdrom.com runs FreeBSD. Obviously the new record can prove anything at all about FreeBSD only. It doesn't prove that Linux is _not_ just as capable either, but that's not the point made here.
If you put product "A" to a certain test, this proves absolutely nothing about product "B".
