I don't think any performance comparisons have been done. Differences in overall performance of a DBMS would most likely be due to differences in filesystem performance. Out of the box, Linux typically outperforms FreeBSD in filesystem access, but it does so at the cost of filesystem instability. FreeBSD softupdates is a nice balance between performance and stability, but that's another matter entirely. > I tried to install the freebsd build on a newly installed FreeBSD4.1 > but it didn't completed, unfortenatelly I don't have the errormessages. > Are there any known problems and workarounds with the installation? I'm not aware of any build problems on 4.1. The error messages you got would therefore be incredibly useful. Geoff -- Geoffrey C. Speicher Tel: (570)803-0535 x1701 ge...@se...
