i'm not some unix newbie. i've been doing sysadmin work for 10 years.
i asked a legitimate question and i don't think that being told to go look
it up was an appropriate response. i asked here for a reason.
REASON: I want documentation about real-world differences. benchmarks,
direct comparisons (i ran FreeBSD and Linux side by side and this is
what happened, whatever) go search the web for FreeBSD vs. Linux.
75% of it is religion, and the other 25% is "it's better because
i say so." but no proof. no documentation.
i need to be able to argue this case in front of a very clueful administration.
these guys aren't just some suits who like pretty pie charts. these guys
are software engineers. they know how this stuff works. they just don't
know anything about FreeBSD and i don't think, "we should run freebsd cause
it's cool." from me will change their minds.
maybe i should have prefaced it with something to that effect, but i didn't
and i apologize for that. however, i don't feel that getting jumped on was an
apropriate resonse.
i won't hold this against anybody, i'm not mad at anybody, i'm just upset that
this is the attitude here. don't alienate possible users of FreeBSD, they
are only helping the cause.
