What is the advanatage to >running FreeBSD anyway? Ok, here's what I have found in running it. 15) With more network connections (simultaneous users/www/telnet/etc) it is always faster. Single high speed transfers aren't a problem, but the way it queues many network connections causes a geometric slowdown. 14) All linux binaries run on it, making it compatible with all x86 unix apps (except very few SCO bins) 13) Security is set up more sensibly with FreeBSD 12) FreeBSD's applications are more ready to run out of the package. 11) There is only one official distribution of FreeBSD, and has way better SMP 10) RADIUS runs on it. RADIUS is an authentication server, not unlike the Adult Check ID sites. 9) Just plain runs longer without crashing. 8) file system more stable, and with async and noatime options in the fstab, it's faster than Linux. 7) It's got a Demon for a logo, which makes it so cool you have to run it. 6) It's got all the branch chain amino acids 5) It's full of fiber 4) The chicks dig it. 3) It helps you in your relationships 2) It keeps you young And the NUMBER ONE REASON IS................ 1) EVERYBODY'S DOIN IT!!!
