(Either that or hack makefile :D ) o Linux kernel compile/install process is still a Royal PITA. FreeBSD is as easy as a make buildkernel and a make installkernel. o We have background fsck. I didn't think this was that important, but when I actually saw it in action, I was impressed. That's what I think, at least. --- Jonathon McKitrick wrote: > > No, this is not flame bait or a 'Linux vs BSD' challenge. :-) > > What I am really interested in knowing is where BSD is still ahead > of Linux, > where they have recently caught up, and where THEY are ahead. > > My guesses: > BSD VM is ahead. > Linux TCP/IP stack has caught up. > Linux SMP is ahead. > > > NOTE: Please CC me, as I am not currently subscribed.
