Hi,
	I'm going to be involved in setting up a server to handle a
considerable user load based around a Pentium (probably with about 32Mb
RAM), possibly with some other non-PC-type machines as well. What I want
is an *informed* comparison of FreeBSD and Linux as an OS for the P5
server. (Informed as in no blind-screaming-fanatic posts telling me to
use one or the other or spend an eternity in hell). Please e-mail
replies to:
		brice@ist.flinders.edu.au
Thanks heaps,
		Benno.
