I like the line on the MS Website that claims NT Server offers a "price
performance advantage over Linux"...
How's this?
Anyway this is a FreeBSD list so I'd like to see the same figures for NT vs.
FreeBSD.
BTW, is the FreeBSD kernel reentrant?
Actually, If you ask me it doesn't really matter. It's only really an issue
with multiple processors. For the cost of Windows NT Server with a dual CPU
machine you can have 2 FreeBSD machines (at least). Besides, FreeBSD
doesn't need to waste 90% of it's resources running a useless GUI.
