Hello,
At work we've got a CentOS 5 server and, since I've been here, have added a server running FreeBSD 9.
We have a fairly intensive PHP workload/website running on the CentOS box, and a couple sites on the FBSD one. However, in terms of traffic itself, even the CentOS box isn't serving a high visitor load.
Nonetheless we've had occasions where load on the CentOS box, as reported by top(1) and/or uptime(1), has exceeded 100 (possibly even 200). I've never seen such numbers on a FreeBSD box in the 10 years I've used the OS.
Do these numbers even mean the same thing betwixt GNU/Linux and FreeBSD? What's your experience?
Thanks,
