Hi,

I've read this article from internet 
(http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/stories/main/0,14179,2846265,00.html) 
and it's not just this one but most of the articles regarding BSD's seem to 
address NetBSD as supporting many architectures and FreeBSD as the fastest, 
the "best" for Intel or Intel compatible CPUs.  I've used FreeBSD 4.4 before 
but didn't think it was that fast compared to NetBSD if at all.  In fact, I 
had to swtch to NetBSD because FreeBSD couldn't correctly configure nor 
recognize my kensington optical usb mouse (only ps/2 version  worked under 
FreeBSD for my laptop)!  I honestly think NetBSD has better hardware support 
for i386 architecture than FreeBSD does.  Now, my questions is, do these 
people actually try out all three NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and write from 
their experience that FreeBSD performs best on Intel or Intel compatible 
processors or do they just run FreeBSD and assume it's fastest performer on 
i386 architecture?  Do anyone know of actual performance tests that were done 
and published onine?  I would like to see myself the official bench marks for 
comparison.  You know, the real bench marks.



Yours sincerely,
