Benchmarks of Debian GNU/kFreeBSD vs. GNU/Linux 143
An anonymous reader writes "The Debian Squeeze release is going to be accompanied by a first-rate kFreeBSD port and now early benchmarks of this port have started coming out using daily install images. The Debian GNU/kFreeBSD project is marrying the FreeBSD kernel with a GNU userland and glibc while making most of the Debian repository packages available for kfreebsd-i386 and kfreebsd-amd64. The first Debian GNU/kFreeBSD benchmarks compare the performance of it to Debian GNU/Linux with the 2.6.30 kernel while the rest of the packages are the same. Results are shown for both i386 and x86_64 flavors. Debian GNU/kFreeBSD may be running well, but it has a lot of catching up to do in terms of speed against Linux."

I don't use BSD, I just wanted to see if the "BSD is dying" troll still posted. It has been years, eh?
It does also seem to me that the FreeBSDk thing is meant to make certain features available to developers, maybe be more reliable, and "faster, faster" isn't being sold as part of the bill of goods. Yet, the talk returns to speed, speed, speed.
But what do I know... I work as a nurse. Although... I DO love a fast computer.
