FreeBSD vs. Linux vs. Win2k

[Programmer In Training]

The FreeBSD os comparison[0] mentioned in the subject line is woefully
out of date. Where would I go to bug someone about a newer one? I'm
telling a (relatively) minted geek friend of mine who wants benchmarks
and stats on FreeBSD vs. Windows XP (and when 7 is supposedly ready for
prime time, that too).

Keeping something like this up-to-date is definitely would make it a
good talking point (with such marketing comparisons kept archived for
reference) for FreeBSD advocacy.

Well murray Stokely made the first one.
http://people.freebsd.org/~murray/ the first one was originally posted
to http://people.freebsd.org/~murray/bsd_flier.html but I would even be
willing to make a FreeBSD 7.2 vs Linux Debian Lenny vs Windows XP or
Windows 7. Although Windows XP still holds most the windows market.

That would be nice. I really do think such a document, especially if
kept updated, makes for good talking points, especially when it's free
from at least apparent bias.

It would be interesting to get these stats performed by someone who is
OS-Neutral. Suffice to say Windows 7 is on par with XP's performance on the
same hardware, even with all the bells and whistles turned on.
