linux vs. freebsd

FreeBSD 5.2.1 scales on dual CPUs just fine.. 4.x isnt quite as good. 
Both versions will go to 8 CPUs if I recall correctly.

That being said, I have two dual CPU systems that I run here, and both run
4.9-STABLE with no problems.
I never notice any scalability issues.  

Personally, I'll never go back to Linux.  I've been on FreeBSD for over a
year now, and I'm quite impressed and pleased with the OS and the
communtity.

alot of linux people are claiming freebsd does not scale well on dual CPUs,
and cannot scale past that.

Can you please clarify.

thanks.
