Not necessarily easier, better. Linux is MUCH, MUCH faster than
FreeBSD for a SINGLE user machine. FreeBSD tends to respond faster
to things like network I/O and disk I/O faster than Linux, but
Linux tends to respond more to 'user' visible processes...
I would like to know where you find data to support such questionable
hypotheses.
He probably tried them both. I've used both, I find Linux much faster on my
just-me machine. I don't have to use any benchmarks, I can tell just by
doing what I usually do, program, mud, etc (was using Linux kernel 1.1.* and
FreeBSD 2.0A).
Be happy...
