This is in the FAQ.

12.7. How cool is FreeBSD?

Q. Has anyone done any temperature testing while running FreeBSD? I
know Linux runs cooler than dos, but have never seen a mention of
FreeBSD. It seems to run really hot.

A. No, but we have done numerous taste tests on blindfolded volunteers
who have also had 250 micrograms of LSD-25 administered beforehand.
35% of the volunteers said that FreeBSD tasted sort of orange, whereas
Linux tasted like purple haze. Neither group mentioned any particular
variances in temperature that I can remember. We eventually had to
throw the results of this survey out entirely anyway when we found
that too many volunteers were wandering out of the room during the
tests, thus skewing the results. I think most of the volunteers are at
Apple now, working on their new ``scratch and sniff'' GUI. It's a
funny old business we're in!


DES (who denies rumors of his involvment in the aforementioned tests)
