I didn't know FreeBSD until this need, and now I'm fascinated with the stuff I've been reading about it. I have 2 servers with the following SW/HW: Server 1: Postgres 9 HSQLDB (Java) 2 cpu 5620 / 48 GB RAM Server 2: Coldfusion 9 and other java applications 2 cpu 5620 / 24 GB RAM I searched the web about performance and portability for these applications on FreeBSD, but I could not find any clear article about my doubts, that's why I'm asking for your help. Question #1: Is anyone running Coldfusion on FreeBSD? It looks like Adobe only supports Red Had and SuSe. Question #2: Is the JVM implementation for FreeBSD reliable and fast? Most of my software components are made in Java (including HSQDB) Question #3: I read a lot of old posts saying that the overall performance of Postgres under FreeBSD is better than on some Linux distributions. Is this still valid for the current versions? I appreciate your valuable time for reading this and for helping me. Thanks a lot Rodrigo
