mary baker and kevin lai presented a paper at this winter's usenix conference comparing FreeBSD linux and solaris on the same hardware. you all may remember there conclusions: linux is not the fastest but it doesnt matter. kevin has a new "data point" regarding NFS caching and the performance of linux vs FreeBSD. he chose FreeBSD because "it's considered to have a high performance NFS implementation." and "its more efficient networking implementation" the result is that linux does NFS caching. cached reads are faster :) http://plastique.stanford.edu/~laik/benchmarks/cached-nfs-results.html ps. plesae excuse the tone of this post, i have toned it down twice. before judging me too harshly please read the web page. -- Jonathan M.
