Free of charge, yes - protecting freedom, I don't believe so. But this isn't a license debate list so I'll stop right there. As for running faster/more stable I think that is debatable. Lies, d*** lies, and benchmarks... But benchmarks make me think of something: does anyone have any idea how iSeries, linux, and *BSD stack up when run on similarly priced hardware? My boss is getting a new iSeries for about $20,000 (not including software). If I bought a linux/*bsd capable machine for $20,000 how would they compare? Both machines would have to run DB2 for any kind of proper comparison. Has anyone done such a test? I'm not really interested in TCO but rather raw speed :) James Rich james@eaerich.com
