I think freebsd 5.2.1 through that out the window. (because of SMP kernels) I haven't used solaris 9 x86, but i have seen *bsd vs solaris 7 and 8 on x86 hardware. Solaris is a tad bit slow. In fact, its not just ia32 hardware. I had an old sparc that came with solaris and i put NetBSD on it. NetBSD was easily twice as fast. (not sparc64) It was a sun sparcstation IPC. (25mhz) The only advantage to using solaris is you don't have to go through all the hoops to get a native jdk. :) Lucas Holt Luke@FoolishGames.com ________________________________________________________ FoolishGames.com (Jewel Fan Site) JustJournal.com (Free blogging) 'I try to think but nothing happens' -- Homer Jay Simpson
