Small sample set aside, the performance differences here are much bigger than I’ve seen in previous linux comparisons. Something has to be off right? Curious if anyone is able to reproduce these results.

- OpenSSH: Mostly ancient history
- Mailer daemon: Mostly ancient history, and Sendmail is no longer in the base system
- Firewall: There are indeed 3 firewalls, which is unfortunate. Just use pf. Most of what this article says about FreeBSD’s pf is wrong.
- Ports and Packages: Many operations shouldn’t be done as root. There are opportunities to improve documentation and enforcement (e.g. disallow running as root)
Thank you for the clarifications on some of the issues with the article in question. It does help to know what is bullshit and what is truth, I might consider FreeBSD in the future. Especially the Ports and Packages issue…As I feel there is some room for improvement there. The Firewall issues isn’t very severe and could easily be overcome.
