It is a Pentium 233 MMX w/ 64MB Ram and 12G HD I am thinking about setting up a small station for browsing the web. Which would perform better on such a system? FreeBSD or NetBSD? I know that this is a mailing list for FreeBSD users, but I am hoping that you will be objective and give me a suggestion based purely on performance. Thank you, Tomoki Taniguchi
