> [long discussion about benchmark results in Linux/FreeBSD deleted] > [Tons of boring and meaningless benchmark results deleted] Has it occurred to any of you that your benchmark results are irrelevant unless you run the Linux and FreeBSD benchmark on the *exact* same machine? Only then can we start comparing figures. Even then, you have to have a comparable degree of customization in each OS to be able to draw any conclusions; it doesn't make sense to compare a production FreeBSD installation with a custom kernel and a vanilla RedHat installation with a generic kernel. -- * Finrod (INTJ) * Unix weenie * dag-erli@ifi.uio.no * cellular +47-92835919 * RFC1123: "Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send"
