Hi there, I am making recommendation for using FreeBSD or BSDI as a WWW server for a hospital WWW server and I have the following on the prefered list: Sun Netra i/170L (UltraSPARC 167MHz) as WWW, SMTP, caching proxy server. Sun Netra i5 (MicroSPARC 110Mhz) as firewall. On the other hand, I am keen on recommending FreeBSD or BSDI with the following hardware: Intel Pentium Pro 200 for WWW, SMTP, caching proxy server and Intel Pentium 166 for firewall. However, I need more real-world benchmark for the following CPUs: UltraSPARC 167MHz vs PPro 200Mhz, and MicroSPARC 110Mhz vs Pentium 166Mhz. Without some hard figures showing comparison, my recommendation will not be too convincing. Can anyone help ? Thanks in advance.
