I can't site my sources (so don't hold me to this, this is just what I've heard), but I believe BSD performed very slightly better than Linux under high stress, but I've also heard that you can strip down linux to perform as well if you know what you're doing. My impression was that the performance difference between BSD and linux wasn't big enough to warrent a mass migration to BSD. Again, only what I've heard in the rumor mill....

It will monitor either a dual E3 link (currently at 50% capacity) or a single port producing about 30-40Mbit. Will Debian Linux handle this kind of traffic without problem, or is FreeBSD a better choice? The machine in question is P3-800, 512MB Ram and SCSI raid. Thanks for any help. -- Olav Langeland <> olav.langeland () activeisp com _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
