In-Reply-To: <199603061519.IAA22625@rover.village.org> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk As far as raw benchmarks go, I'd suggest anybody who is about to install FreeBSD install Linux first, run some benchmarks, record them (smile), and then install FreeBSD and do the same. That way we can get comparisons on the _SAME HARDWARE_. There is a stray IDE HD laying around my office, I may take that and do said experiment on my own workstation. Collecting this sort of comparison is what we need. Comparing 'nearly-the-same' computer just doesn't cut it--too much is left open for debate. -Brandon Gillespie-
