Debian kFreeBSD 9.0 vs. Linux vs. FreeBSD 9
Benchmarking Debian GNU/kFreeBSD daily as of 21 February 2012 with the FreeBSD 9.0-1-amd64 kernel on Wheezy/sid compared to Debian GNU/Linux with the Linux 3.2 kernel and same-userland. This result also has files from a stock PC-BSD/FreeBSD 9.0 installation. Testing for a future article on Phoronix.com by Michael Larabel.
