You can't really expect a fair comparison between two operating systems on the list of one of the OSes IMHO... BTW: UFS with softupdates is indeed more reliable then ext2 with async mounts, but the reliability of ReiserFS/XFS/JFS on Linux will be quite good too I guess... I'd personally trust the FreeBSD kernel more for stability then the Linux kernel, but there are Linux servers running reliable too... Maybe a topic for freebsd-advocacy? :) -- ,-------------------------------------------. > Name: Alson van der Meulen < > Personal: alson@flutnet.org < > School: alson@gymnasiumleiden.nl < `-------------------------------------------' The sprinkler system isn't supposed to leak is it? --------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
