The system will be a dual p3 with a lot of ram and hardware raid, and i'm testing fbsd 4.3 vs linux 2.4 for NFS sharing. I'm concerned about SMP (not speed, but stability) on fbsd, and am looking for honest advice on which use. I will be running my own tests on each, but look forward to input from the list.
