Benchmarks? What benchmarks are you talking about?! IMVHO you should at
least _try_ to run Linux on your hardware. NetBSD on my laptop (i1200 series
Thinkpad) was lagging slow, hopefully Linux makes it fly. I can _feel_ it.
Benchmarks... what specific benchmarks do you mean? I could run them, no
problem. What benchmarks? Compilation time? PHP performance? PostgreSQL
queries per second? I am afwully sure Linux would outperform NetBSD in
performance in all these areas.
I _am_ pro-BSD guy, I know NetBSD superiority to Linux/FreeBSD in many
areas... but please, don't say "NetBSD has better approach to hardware,
than Linux", because it's _not_ true.
