    I have a program that uses threads and TCP/UDP sockets from the Common C++ libraries. What is the best platform to run it? The machine available is i686, so i have to choose between Linux and BSD. What has the best support from common c++ group ?

      What is worth noting in this question is that under GNU/Linux, Common C++ will use "poll" for waiting on socket descriptors, while on xBSD systems, it will use "select", hence different code will be executed.  Which is better supported/tested of that two, I am not sure at this point, since both have been revised a lot recently.
