I am a _real-life_ user of FreeBSD and I am *very* happy with FreeBSD
6.2-PRERELEASE and before that 6.1-STABLE.  This particular machine is
quite old - it's a 350MHz K6 - and I from a subjective point of view,
FreeBSD 6.1 has been the fastest OS which has run on it.

YMMV of course.


Cheers,
       Nick.
