I think that the author of this statement meant that this to be
humorous...  He is saying that Linux on a Pentium is faster than
FreeBSD on a 386!!!  (Likewise FreeBSD on a Pentium is faster than
Linux on a 386...)  I would think that both of these statements would
be agreeable to *both* the FreeBSD AND Linux teams!!!
