The first stage is to compare like with like - the latest released slackware or RedHat Linux against the latest FreeBSD release. If we have time left over, we can start benchmarking the experimental branches but bear in mind that this kind of data will have a _very_ low shelf life, and constitute a fair bit of extra work for Warner (or whomever) to keep up to date. > with more FreeBSD likes/dislikes and FreeBSD/Linux comparisons, I will > volunteer to type it up into a Web page (most likely with hypertext links > for further information), which should be ready for use on > www.freebsd.org in a few weeks. Thanks! Hmmmm. Sounds like you've got the bit well between your teeth! :-) Maybe you and Warner could act as co-consipirators on this one, or maybe Warner just wants to stick the hat on you at this point.. :-) Warner?
