Hi! I'm writing scripts for an online programming contest. Basically, the idea is that the participants mail the programs (C programs) to an machine where the mails are piped to a perl/python (haven't decided yet) script which would process the mail as in compile the program and run against test cases etc and reply back to the user informing him of the score. Well, for all this, I'm supposed to choose one machine from two - one of them is a 256MB RAM PIII and the other 512MB RAM PIII which is running linux (and which I cannot change). The machine with 256MB RAM has nothing installed on it as yet. I'm convinced of capabilities of FreeBSD and want to use it for the contest. But I can install FreeBSD on the 256MB RAM machine only. If you were in my position, what would you do? :( Are there any benchmarks available for running CPU intensive programs for freebsd and linux?
