Hey Dan, OffMyServer hasn't gotten anything formal up yet, but we will. This was fairly generic testing on identical boxes with vanilla installations (no tuning). Then, bonnie, iozone, and dd were run on FreeBSD vs. Linux. We have a plan to begin saving all this testing data that we do in production and make an attempt to correlate it. -matt ---- Matt Olander Chief Technology Officer, OffMyServer, Inc.
