JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Just wanting to jump into this thread because I am a HUGE proponent of *BSD.

Ports is great. This makes software management a breeze. BSD offers both binary and source based methods of installing software. If you are lost in FreeBSD, run this command:

$ man hier

FreeBSD runs PGSql like a champ. Google FreeBSD 7.0 performance benchmarks. Kris@freebsd has posted a good scaling graph on FreeBSD 7.0-Release vs. other BSDs vs. The Latest Linux kernels. If you need more information, I did email Kris about hardware specs.
