[ Please -- if you choose to reply to this, just post to -advocacy. Take my name off it; I'll see it when it hits the list. Thanks! SB ] Just something that was posted to #freebsd yesterday. I think it's pretty interesting for a couple reasons I'll mention below: http://www.mindcraft.com/whitepapers/nts4rhlinux.html Summary: Windows NT outperforms Linux Red Hat in ease-of-install, web benchmarks, and file server benchmarks (using samba). What's hidden in here is that Microsoft sponsored this test (paid Mindcraft to do it, I guess). Something I found interesting. There was a post a while back that suggested that Microsoft would not allow benchmarks of its own products to be posted by 3rd parties. Did I misread this? If not, it seems mighty unfair of them to post benchmarks only when it's in their interest to do so. I wonder how FreeBSD would stack up in these tests. Enjoy...
