Has anyone compared a bare installation of Linux to FreeBSD? Let's say you install Arch Linux with Xorg and Fluxbox and Firefox. And then you check how much MB it takes on the harddrive and how much RAM it takes and how fast it starts up.
Then you do the same on a FreeBSD and compare the results?
Reason why I ask it that I have a rather slow laptop with 1 GB RAM that used to have FreeBSD but then I installed Ubuntu and it was so slow. So I wonder if I should try installing Arch Linux instead of go back to FreeBSD. I changed to Linux because I can't run Spotify and Flash natively in FreeBSD.
