Does one OS offer better performace over the other when running
postgresql?
I'd guess the crucial thing will be:
1. Your experience in admin-ing each.
2. Hardware support for each.
Some theoretical advantage isn't any use if your RAID array has poor
drivers on Linux or you don't know how to tune Free-BSD.
Interesting. Instinctively, I'd have thought that, being more
main-stream, Linux has a better supply of drivers than Free-BSD. Have
you had any experience with Linux RAID drivers being poorer than Free BSD's?
