Re: Selecting OS for High-availability/mission-critical web portal

Hi there

FreeBSD has very fast TCP stack and very nice "jail" (much better
than chroot()) so it might better choice,
however personally i prefer linux with grsecurity patch
(few times grsec saved my ass :)
Anyway - IMHO OS is just a matter of taste/experience,
I think - You should choose the one U feel better with,
on HA system You won't have time to learn.
