Yes---add basically as many (but not too many) graphs as are relevant and advantageous. e.g.: Graphs of: Price/performance for different OSs (Can this be quantified? Or just prices.) Relative OS speeds under different server loads Security (& can give specific examples e.g. teardrop) Average server uptime till crash or reboot necessary (Minimum) Hardware Requirements (?) OSs: SCO FreeBSD BSDi ? Windows NT (Novell Netware) Linux Windows 95/98 ? --- Ben. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
