FreeBSD vs. Linux vs. Windows 2000 comparison

[Jerry Feldman]

No. Just on the first case:
Most Linux distros have several journalling file systems available which 
make Linux just as good as FreeBSD for transaction processing and database,

The second one on performance does mention the 2.4 kernels. It needs some 
work. I don't have any data on this. 

On security, I think it is a bit unfair on the Linux side. But, again, I 
don't really have hard data to challenge it,

On filesystems, Linux has several alternative file systems from ext2, to 
Reiser to JFS and XFS. 

Just looking at the tone of the rest of it, the author has not been 
objective. I would rather see this written by someone who can create the 
table more objectively. 

FreeBSD is an excellent system, and I think it will be growing, especially 
since Apple has essentially adopted it for the Mac. I personally would love 
to see a unification of the FreeBSD and Linux kernel people with the 
objective of producing the best free kernels.
