In order to try and 'sell' FreeBSD to the management at the University I
work at, I've hijacked a Dual-PIII server we have sitting idle right now
and am going to generate benchmarks that just compare FreeBSD -> Solaris 8
...

Basically, I want to run all my tests under FreeBSD and them am goign to
format everything under Solaris 8 and run the exact same tests.

I'm putting my results for the FreeBSD tests up on
http://atelier.acadiau.ca, including configuratin information ... what I
would appreciate is any feedback on what tests I should run (so far, I've
only done bonnie and bytebench), as well as possibly any kernel config
changes that I haven't thought about doing ...

Basically, I want to test the operating systems, not a bunch of third
party software ... so, IMHO, softupdates is part of FreeBSD, but Veritas
isn't part of Solaris ... I just want to install the operating systems and
the benchmark programs ...

Any comments, please feel free to make ... any recommended changes to hwo
I'm running the various benchmark programs so that they are more accurate,
please feel free to make those suggestions too and I'll re-run them.

I figure I have this machine for ~1week while we await the Solaris 8 CDs
to come in ...

Thanks ...
