Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-advocacy@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello! With all this discussion of FreeBSD vs. Linux flying around, I decided to see what I could find on the web on the comparision, because a well done "freeBSD is better than Linux for these reasons" page could be a powerful and persausive document that we could point Linux users and the media to. I found two pages: http://www.tiny1.demon.co.uk/case-histories/COLM-4-25-95.html favors Linux http://www.linuxrx.com/WS_Linux/OS_comparison.html (check the boxes for Linux and FreeBSD) This is attempting to be unbiased, although it is on the "Linux Resource Exchange Page". Linux seems to fair slightly better in the comparision. I also looked through freebsd.org for this sort of document, but couldn't find one. I even tried http://www.freebsd.org/advocacy/ :) I'm interesting in helping such a page come to life, but I don't have enough experience with FreeBSD or the technical detail of the two OSes to build the guts of this document. Benchmarking info and statistics would be great here. I *could* help with some graphic design and web design enhancements (charts and graphs?). That's why my strongest skills lie. -mark Designer, Summersault Web Design http://www.summersault.com/mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
