We have been having quite a bit of trouble running a Usenet News server
over the last 8 months.  The machine in question is a dual Pentium Pro
with 256MB and a DPT 3334UW Raid Controller.

What I would like to do is convince the Sysadmin that FreeBSD might be a
better platform than Slackware Linux for administering the server.  The
machine would be running INN 2.0.  We have seen severe buffering
problems with the RAID controller and Linux in its present state.  Could
anyone give any reasons why FreeBSD may be a superior OS for such an
application so I can convince the Sysadmin to switch?  Thanks.
