For example, you run a : test on a P6-200 with Linux and P5-133 with FreeBSD. Because the : Linux runs are faster than FreeBSD, does NOT MEAN that the Linux kernel : is better (faster) than the FreeBSD kernel. All you can say is that the : faster machine ran the BENCHMARKS on Linux faster than the slower : machine ran the BENCHMARKS on FreeBSD. : My dong is bigger than his ding-dong. Shit, get over it people. Isn't it time for this Linux vs FreeBSD thread to finish?
