I'm going to be implementing a Compaq Proliant 4000 sometime soon as a postgresql database server (quad Pentium 66), and I'm trying to decide which open-sourced SMP OS would be a better choice. I could try either and pound them out with dnetc or seti for a few days, but I don't have a whole lot of time for that. I know little of Linux or FreeBSD's support for SMP, so I'd really like to hear of some unbiased personal experiences with the two, although I would ultimately prefer to end up using FreeBSD as my final solution here.
