| A benchmark paper is being written right now that shows that for i/o, | FreeBSD 6.0 is universally faster and scales better than 5.4. Watch for | it to be released fairly soon. | | It's fine to doubt conventional wisdom, but you too should back up what | you're saying. Otherwise, it just amounts to FUD. | | Scott Thanks Scott, I'll be interested in seeing it. As far as FUD, like I said before, I'll stick to my guns about not putting the absolute newest OS (or anything else) into production use the second it is released. I know orgs like FreeBSD do a huge amount of testing and I'm constantly impressed by FreeBSD, but I still am very hesitant to rush right into something new. If you want to call that fear, okay. I personally call it caution :) Ray
