Courtesy of the Tech Report we have some decent linkage for you. Byte.com has a little comparison of how Linux 2.4 stacks up against FreeBSD 4.1.1 in the server arena. What makes this even better is that the testing was done on a duallie (uNF).

Linux 2.4.0 is available for no money. So is FreeBSD. Linux uses advanced hardware, so does FreeBSD. FreeBSD is more stable and faster than Linux, in my opinion. We penguinistas sometimes believe we are having more fun than anybody. But then I lean over the fence and discover the FreeBSD folks are having a hell of a party, too. And their OS is as fast as I have seen.

They run some interesting tests which sysadmins may want to pay attention to. What are you waiting for? Get on over there!

Oh, it's nice to see that PA is back in full effect too.

#7734 Posted on: 02/17/2005 08:58 PM The Register has posted a review of IBM's Thinkpad T42p. The T42p sports ATI's Mobility Fire GL T2 workstation graphics chip. What sets a workstation chip apart from standard graphics chips is its certification for use with certain high-end graphical design packages. So if you want a notebook to run a CAD package, or a 3D rendering application, you'll want one that has a graphics chip approved by the software vendor. That way, when you run a preview of that complicated scene that you've been working on for days, you know it will work. This really does look like a mobile workstation. You might want to take a look.

If I'm not mistaken, Hooz is running one of these units in the secret 2CPU.com underground test bunker. After previewing two "engineering samples" and now reviewing the final shipping product, we can confidently say that the ZMAXdp continues to amaze us.
