FreeBSD/PC-BSD vs. OpenBSD vs. DragonFlyBSD vs. Linux Benchmarks Intel Xeon E3-1231 tests on various Linux distributions and against latest DragonFlyBSD, OpenBSD, and PC-BSD as of January 2016. All distributions were cleanly installed and updated. Stock compiler flags used as were the other OS defaults too Tests for a future article on Phoronix.com.
