You are starting a flame war. If possible, try them both. Or pick one
by random. Since I am working on Linux only, don't expect an unbiased
answer from me. Without the shared libraries, I don't think 386bsd will
have any real performance edge over Linux. BTW, if you are doing FP
stuff, Linux may be better for you.
