HI I am interested in getting a copy of Free BSD. I am also wondering if Linux is comperable to this program.
In the sense that it's a free UNIX, yes. In the sense that it's the same variant of UNIX (sysV) then no.
I believe FreeBSD is much more "organized" as compared to Linux, with respect to support, and source code. Linux may be more popular though, so this might attest to its satisfactory performance. In my case, I'd choose FreeBSD anytime.
Most definitely. The organization was one of the primary reason FreeBSD got started here. A friend of mine liked the distribution system more than linux, and got hooked.
I know of several FreeBSD Web servers (including mine) that are doing an excellent job.
The usenix review also pointed out FreeBSD showed the best network performance.
Yes, but they did berate performance/caching and Pentium processor use across all three systems. I think it would be neat if we were the first to get some advanced techniques into place.
Is your program more easy to set up than Linux?
About as easy. A group ant Stanford who published a paper for Usenix thought that Linux was the easiest to install, then FreeBSD and Solaris x86.
I really feel FreeSD is easier... Don't know how that report came to show that result.
Both Solaris and FreeBSD crashed during the initial install on a hardware hangup. We should make boot -c mandatory.
