Well, I can spew features. I'd be tempted to run a comparison myself, if I had a good hit simulator :) A good look at the system in action is ftp.cdrom.com. FreeBSD's main features: . 4.4BSD's well tested TCP/IP implementation -- it _is_ the reference after all . Robusticity to low memory & disk space conditions . High quality, well designed, finely tuned VM system . Merged VM/buffer cache balances disk I/O caching with memory needs . System maintains interactive response even under heavy load . Scheduler scales well as process demand increases . Default setup of system daemons encourages good security Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
