In the future (and for anyone else that is thinking of crossposting
political flame-bait), please keep your opinions to yourself. Just as some
tasks do better with Perl and others are better suited to TCL, I am sure
the same could be said between FreeBSD and Linux. There is no "best",
there is only better suited for a particular application. That your
application is raw throughput has no meaning or weight with another's
application of more varied hardware support.

Regardless, if you feel though that these must be known for the greater
good of the free world, please do so in comp.os.*.flame and not in forums
where people are actually trying to get some work done.
