Interesting benchmark not sure if this is valid: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM4NzQ
sossego said:From my understanding, the kFreeBSD uses the FreeBSD kernel and userland with a libc plus debian and other applications. "The same userland" as stated by Phoronix is a false statement.
Agreed, but I don't see that happening any time soon to be honest. The thing is; to get something like that set up you'll need to have quite some experience with both environments. But people who do usually don't care about these things at all because they already know when to use either Linux or FreeBSD, or Windows for that matter.alie said:I think they should compare FreeBSD and Linux kernel without any GUI at all so its fair.

segfault said:He's right, I see no test listed there where FreeBSD came out on top. D'oh.
No, I think not. IMHO we are at the point where the next logical question is: "Who paid the piper?"Savagedlight said:There are also several benchmarks which were only run on or shown for Debian Linux. Some of them: security/botam, multimedia/libvpx, parallell bzip compression, games/crafty, and audio/lame. Need I go on?
Savagedlight said:They don't seem to provide any reasons for why these and several other tests were not run on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD. This is obviously not an objective test, as the results could very well be cherry-picked.

I want to run a Unix distribution. Linux is not Unix.
