 | View Full Version : redhat or freebsd JBIZ718 10-14-2001, 11:51 AM We use both, I prefer FreeBSD, and will use it for all my new servers Joe cperciva 10-14-2001, 12:02 PM Security holes are bad. Performance is good. 'nough said. Rewdog 10-14-2001, 12:04 PM Originally posted by cperciva Security holes are bad. Performance is good. 'nough said. nough said? Which are you talking about? IMO, Both are good, but FreeBSD is Free. I've also heard FreeBSD is more secure. cperciva 10-14-2001, 12:08 PM Well, they are both "free", by different definitions of "free". Redhat is "free beer", while FreeBSD is "free speech"... but lets not open up *that* flamewar. The relevant part is what I said before: Redhat is known primarily for its extensive security flaws, while FreeBSD is known primarily for its performance (well, that plus its use in untold millions of routers and embedded devices). allera 10-14-2001, 12:43 PM I would personally never use RH in any of my systems. If I had to use linux, my first choice is Slack. Else, FreeBSD all the way. alchiba 10-14-2001, 01:13 PM Originally posted by cperciva Redhat is "free beer", while FreeBSD is "free speech"... ROFL. Well put. Synergy 10-14-2001, 02:57 PM DarkOrb should really support FreeBSD and Mandrake :( Anatole 10-14-2001, 03:16 PM We, at 100mb.ru, use Linux for SQL servers and FreeBSD for Web servers, dns and mail. With Linux you get better SMP support and XFS (journaling file system - a great thing in a case of system failuer). With FreeBSD you get performance and easy updates. |
