העתיד של לינוקס לא ברור

The executive, Microsoft group product manager Doug Miller, told a reporter for Wired "Linux is not leading anything, it is simply providing a 'free' operating system," adding that, ""Free does not sustain a business," and, "the recent security problems with Linux ... really call into question whether Linux should be used at all."
Reached at his office, Microsoft's Miller said he didn't enjoy delivering the sobering news, and prayed his opponents would be able to find peace. "Revealing that Linux is full of errors, shouldn't be used, and has no place in the software world was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do," confessed Miller, who appeared to be holding back tears. "I can only hope that one day, they will see I was doing this to save them years of wasted effort."
לינוקס טובה ב : embedded devices ולמחשבי desktop , אבל ממה שאני רואה לשרתים עדיף bsd כמערכת שהפיתוח שלה הוא הרבה יותר רציני ויציב.

There are many metrics of performance. Disk I/O, filesystem, memory management, multitasking. Each of these categories could also be benchmarked for scalability from 1 to tens of thousands of processes/threads. The relevant metrics for you depend on your particular workload.
And regarding security, there is a famous adage: Security is a process. Yes, different operating systems have a different level of focus on security *out of the box*. But the relative security of any particular host over the long term is most affected by the policies, enforcement, and ongoing vigilance of its administrators.
Also of potential importance for you... We have noticed that OpenBSD tends to become unstable and crash when it is stressed with a heavy workload. (OpenBSD's focus on security seems to have been to the detriment of a focus on stability.) If you anticipate that your site may someday receive a lot of traffic, you may want to choose something other than OpenBSD.
While OpenBSD is well known for being secure, the security is for the software included in OpenBSD... not for all the applications you might add on top of it. Also, FreeBSD is very secure. Just like OpenBSD however, the security of a new server with nothing installed is very secure. But, when you install software on the server, you add possible vulnerabilities that are not part of the OpenBSD or FreeBSD audited code.
FreeBSD performs *much* better than OpenBSD and has better hardware support. If given the choice of either OpenBSD or FreeBSD as the platform to use for a new site that I hoped to grow to a large number of users, there is no doubt in my mind; I would definitely use FreeBSD.
Let me say that I am a fan of OpenBSD, but for a production web site that will have many users I would prefer to use FreeBSD.

openbsd זאת לא המערכת לשרתים כבדים , זה ברור לי ממחקר ארוך שעשיתי ( המון שעות בכל פורום אפשרי ) .
הם גם אמרו לי שזה נכון שלינוקס היתה מערכת עם ביצועים הרבה יותר טובים ( מדגיש "הרבה" ) מ freebsd עד הגרסא 9 .
בגרסא 9 עניין הביצועים מאוד השתפר יחסית ללינוקס.
אני אוהב את זה שכלום לא מוכן שם ( זה כמו לינוקס לפני 12 שנה ).
זה הרבה יותר יוניקס אמיתי ולא דומה לווינדוס.
