for the stability of BSD you should look into their development
categories, it all depends on which release you're using, 4 right NOW
is rock solid, 5.3 is also quite solid.  Our performance has gone up
100% since we switched from suse to FreeBSD.

matt

Recent OS benchmarks (nothing specific to PostgreSQL) were compared to 
FreeBSD 5.3 and posted at:

http://www.feyrer.de/NetBSD/gmcgarry/

I don't know enough to apply the information to the discussion at hand; 
but maybe you'll find it useful.

My biggest beef with NetBSD is that there's so much you have to 
configure by hand in the base installation -- much more so than even 
FreeBSD because of the portability goals of NetBSD.  On the other hand, 
(thanks to articles by Michael Lucas) my Nec MobilePro 780, a large pda 
with keyboard, now runs NetBSD 1.6.2; and has grown up to be a real 
computer!  You have to take the good with the bad, I suppose.

That's all we use - no problems, so never had to do any comparisons..

    I'm very interested in testing FreeBSD + PostgreSQL! Is it truth that the
PostgreSQL project was born over BSD? Does the project still being developed
over it?

Atenciosamente,

I know that a couple of the core developers use FreeBSD as their
primary platform... However PostgreSQL is developed as a whole
on many platforms.
