    Hello,

    Did anyone else read about the OSU Open Source Lab
    Benchmark Challenge (http://osuosl.org/benchmarks/bc/)
    at Slashdot today?

    http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/02/03/0021232&mode=nested&tid=106&tid=117&tid=185&tid=190&tid=99

    It appears to be a good-faith attempt to compare the
    performance of various open source operating systems.

    This could be a chance for the world to see FreeBSD
    shine. Does anyone plan to help "tweak" the FreeBSD
    install, as allowed by the contest?

    I'm interested in this as a FreeBSD user and advocate,
    but admit not being sufficiently advanced to make
    performance recommendations.

    Sincerely,

    Richard
