the FreeBSD way, the route of happiness and speedy processing, plus good sleep at night - the Ubuntu and FreeBSD way, the route of happiness and overheated processor, but proven to work?

Most services on my hosted domains use a FreeBSD release providing SQL, DNS, and SMTP and POP access.  The only software that I still use Ubuntu Server with is lighttpd, and fast-cgi.

My project for the next couple day will be migrating all my web data to a FreeBSD server, and do some benchmarks behind the scenes.

If everything checks out, I will go the BSD route for the web server also.  It happens to be "just one of those things", I feel more secure - tight I should say, and have the comfort level to use the platform in a production system instead of Linux because of cuncurrent connections, light weight kernel, and blazing fast process priority management.

I still do love Ubuntu, and will undoubtedly use it as my desktop and server OS at home for the good of time.  I just want to "test the water" so to speak.

If I don't blog about this again, or 20 something domains fall from the face of the net, either I am happy with what I have, or I have failed; that would be a very bad thing...
