Hi,

I need to configure a Internet-Server based on a Intel-Machine.

I tried both operationsystem, Linux with Kernel 1.3.25 and FreeBSD 2.05
Can someone help me, wich system will be the best to act as a www, ftp
and mail-Server, there arn't many users on the machine.

FreeBSD seems to have a better Ethernet-I/O-Performance, but Linux has
a better support for PCI and for me it has a better directory and 
password-structure - more common to other operation-systems.

Anybody of you have experiences with both systems and can help me?


Please answer by mail to	tschach@www.fu-berlin.de


Thanks, Carsten
