The recent discussion in this thread causes me to wonder whether
FreeBSD's performance on older, slower equipment could be a
contributing
factor to why hardware vendors like Dell and ATI are willing to
provide only
limited support for LINUX and none at all for FreeBSD. After all, if
FreeBSD
lets a Pentium II w/MMX handle, for example, a moderately loaded web
site or
large network firewall or some other reasonable use and thereby
obviating many
purchases of hardware upgrades, why would they want to encourage its
use?
Here is an interview with ati. The sad part is they give a solid no to bsd support.
