Damn, FreeBSD is real fast!
 

shvizt, i should change OS ages ago.

one FreeBSD 4.9 box with 0.06 load is taking traffic that two RH9 Linux boxes were serving with ~2.0 load.

that's really a BIG difference ;-)

What kind of traffic?

Static HTML and images?

Scripts?

I have never tried linux but this is just more evidence to support my theory that it sucks compared to fbsd which is the sh1t

I use nothing but for my hosting clients and all my servers. FreeBSD is the shit man no dought.

Everything man linux and the rest of them are shit compared to BSD

all static. the same traffic as two boxes combined. it's just serving each request faster - less processes total.

if you want even more performance out of your freebsd box apply following:

vi /etc/sysctl.conf

kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=8388608
kern.ipc.somaxconn=8192
kern.ipc.maxsockets=16424
kern.maxfiles=65536
kern.maxfilesperproc=32768
net.inet.tcp.rfc1323=1
net.inet.tcp.delayed_ack=0
net.inet.tcp.sendspace=1048576
net.inet.tcp.recvspace=1048576
net.inet.udp.recvspace=65535
net.inet.udp.maxdgram=57344
net.local.stream.recvspace=65535
net.local.stream.sendspace=65535

------------------------------------------------
vi /boot/loader.conf

kern.ipc.maxsockets="50000"
kern.ipc.nmbclusters="25000"
kern.ipc.mbufs="50000"



THEN save and reboot enjoy

yep, it's the real shit. 3 years ago when i was just starting adult i used to have a virtual account with freebsd on it - was impressed even that time. now, i'm simply moving to freebsd all boxes. no fucking need for dual xeon if you have freebsd :)

the devil has assraped the pengiun again :1orglaugh

Welcome! :thumbsup

tnx man, but with such low load i can't complain. seems that the box can saturate 100Mbps line now, while Linux one was gagging on 8Mbps.

Exactly thats why i posted the pic.

sure. and the devil is doing it again & again.

especially when Red Hat is pulling out support for most popular RH7-9...

What's the learning curve like, switching from Red Hat to FreeBSD ?

Not much man I if you know redhat and have a few hours man youre in there

FreeBSD does indeed have a kick ass kernel for high loads. :)

I've always found it a bit buggy on the desktop though, and prefer Slackware for that... plus the new 2.6 Linux kernel is pretty wicked.

indeed.
it took me 4 hrs to setup EVERYTHING on freebsd box from a scratch. from compiling apache/php/mysql/perl to transfering 4 gigs from linux boxes

FreeBSD is the only OS I will use on my machines running my SE spamware, other OS's choke on the load that the spider make running thru my scripts
