Greetings, I've been using FreeBSD for years and love it. Great great product. I'm now in a situation where I have to put together some extremely powerful web servers. The site that it is for is in the top 10 of all visited sites (no, its not a porno site). :) Currently, we have 4 single cpu boxes, 2 running linux and 2 running 2.2.6. The 2 running FreeBSD are dual pII 300's. The plan is to get 2 more of the dual cpu boxes and kill off the 2 single cpu linux boxes. What I want to know is, what is it going to take to make the SMP code usable in a stressed environment? We have a definate interest in this. I know that FreeBSD using SMP, running apache, could *seriously* outperfom the same box running NT and IIS (boo hiss!). Let me know what you'd want from me to make this happen (money, test computers, etc) and I'll see what I do. Things like the client doing a press release about how awesome FreeBSD is serving their website, letting you use their name on your website as a "huge traffic" client, etc are possibilities too.
