Server OS Comparisons

I've been mowing around looking for performance statistics to compare against. I haven't really found anything solid but I did find some information that might help other users in their quest for a server operating system.

Here is a chart comparing FreeBSD with Linux and Windows 2000. As a general reference it's not too bad. I did notice the date of the file is January of 2002 so keep in mind that it's way outdated. Microsoft and Linux have made advances that improve on some of the criticism in this comparison but many of the facts still hold true. The chart gives a good overview but additional research should be done before making any major decisions.

FreeBSD Waters Are Easily Waded isn't a comparison but gives a good overview of the nature, history, differences, and advantages of FreeBSD. The article was published in December, about a month after FreeBSD announced the release of version 6.0.
