Hi all,
I have to migrate an old machine (FreeBSD 8.3 + OpenJDK 6 + Tomcat 5.5)
to a new hardware and respectively looking for answers 

One of the options is to use FBSD 10 the other one is 'some Linux'. In
the past there were penalties for using FBSD + Java, not sure what is
the situation now. The hardware will be 2x processors E5, 64GB RAM -
running multi user Java app on Tomcat 7.

I have to defend the decision to use FBSD but need to have something in
my pockets.

What would you suggest as info, any advices, thoughts?

Thanks!
Todor
