Re: [GENERAL] SCO Extortion

[Gavin M. Roy]

Thanks for the feedback thus far.  I should also mention I use freebsd 
for other stuff, but I am mainly asking in peoples experience, which is 
the best for PostgreSQL to live on specifically.  In terms of a nice smp 
high end scsi system.  Sorry for the lack of specifics on that before.

I'm currently one of the targets of SCO's linux licensing extortion

avoid any potential problems.   I'm curious which BSD people prefer for
large scale databases and why.  Any pointers as to which I should test out?
   

for the longest time, the BSDs have been split as:

FreeBSD - i386 rock solid
NetBSD  - work on as many platforms as possible
OpenBSD - be as secure as possible
There is alot of code sharing between them all though, so, IMHO, alot of
it is personal preferences ... I've been using FreeBSD since '95, and
other then having a habit of finding (and, usually pushing) its limits,
I've been most happy with it ...
