How fast are the 386BSD derivatives exporting NFS? I currently
run a Linux network and the NFS speed sucks. Is Free or NetBSD any
faster? Also will they work with my NE2000 and NE2100 net cards?
Thanks. EMail prefered.
I'm told that both NetBSD and FreeBSD NFS is significantly faster than
Linux. Although you may not see much difference if you're still using
a Linux box as the client, since that's where most of the speed
degradation lies.
Also, the NE2000 type cards suck. They work, but there are much
better cards out there (SMC WD80xx and 3com 3c5x9).
