linux vs. freebsd

[Dave Stephens]

I came from Mandrake Linux after a brief time on Red Hat and I have been 
using FreeBSD for almost 2 years.  It's a very clean and stable system.  I 
would never go back.

I run a dual CPU system on 4.9-STABLE with no problems too.  I've managed 
uptimes of nearly 100 days on my SMP system so I would have to say it's very 
stable.  (It runs several web domains, hosts the database for them, and 
other things as well, so it's not like it just sits around doing nothing all 
day. :)

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.
