There is a comparison in the FreeBSDzine at http://www.daemonnews.org/199908/d-advocate.html It depends on what your needs are. No system rates 10's across the board in my book. The problem is whether the 2's interfere. If they do, you made a bad choice. I think FreeBSD is a more mature system and has better control in the committment process. Anyone can suggest a change but "the" expert has to make the change. I think that is very important.
