Hello,

I have a working SMP machine that I want to migrate to FreeBSD. Currently it
is running Linux kernel 2.4.5. The machine is a dual processor Pentium III @
700 MHZ, with 768 MB in RAM (Dell PowerEdge 2400). I want to install FreeBSD
4.3-RELEASE and enable SMP. My problem is that I've read about rock-solid
performance and of very poor performance with the same FreeBSD.

I want to know about how stable (from other persons' experience), how fast
is it going to work (compared with linux) and your personal opinions about
this.

The programs that will run in this server are My SQL, Apache, QMail,
STunnel, OpenSSL, Samba 2.2.0 and OpenSSH. I read a column by Moshe Bar
comparing Linux's kernel 2.4.0 and FreeBSD
(http://www.byte.com/column/BYT20010130S0010) 4.1.1, in that column, FreeBSD
emerged as a winner. Taking that column into account, I'm leaning over to
the BSD fence, but I want to be sure that this change is for the better.

Thanks,

Mario Doria
