IMHO FreeBSD ist lots faster than Linux, as I had Linux on my server before, and when I changed to FreeBSD everything ran faster. > If someone could point me to a technical page, also, that indicates > FreeBSD's and Linux's performance when running Apache, PHP and MySQL? I can tell you very much about this. I administer a server with Apache PHP3 and MySQL. First, there was Linux on it, (it's a Pentium 90) and then I put FreeBSD on it. It's a real difference. FreeBSD runs much faster with Apache MySQL and PHP3. > We need this information in order to determine which of these two OS to > choose from to drive our website. Choose FreeBSD. It's faster. -- Best Regards, Freddy ===================================================================== Frederik Meerwaldt ICQ: 83045387 Homepage: http://www.freddym.org Bavaria/Germany OpenVMS and Unix Howtos and much more FREEBSD, NETBSD, OPENBSD, TRU64, OPENVMS, ULTRIX, BEOS, LINUX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
