OS comparison in a brief: Solaris 10 vs FreeBSD (vs linuxes)
Hi,
I wanted to ask for a brief summary (without details) about the comparison of the following OSes:
- FreeBSD
- OpenBSD
- Solaris 10
- Linux 2.4
- Linux 2.6
In the following areas (current and perspective for the future):
- security
- overall stability / reliability
- filesystem reliability
All of them to be assumed as configured by an expert administrator to be as much secure as possible. I expect that such OS should be installed and running for several years without any upgrade.
Thanks in advance
Regards
