Canonical will be releasing Ubuntu 9.10 at the end of next
month while the final release of FreeBSD 8.0 is also expected within the
next few weeks. With these two popular free software operating systems
both having major updates coming out at around the same time, we decided
it warranted some early benchmarking as we see how the FreeBSD 8.0 and
Ubuntu 9.10 performance compares. For looking more at the FreeBSD
performance we also have included test results from FreeBSD 7.2, the
current stable release. In this article are mostly the server and
workstation oriented benchmarks with the testing being carried out on a
dual AMD Opteron quad-core workstation.
