I assume you copied the output of 'uname' and used it in your post,hence the domain name.
Your question is just too relative to answer precisely.However FreeBSD 6.2 (i386) is a fast, stable and superbly engineered OS.It has its own userland tools and each release is designed and engineered, not patched like the linux kernel.
However unlike Linux , BSD is not as much of a commercial venture for most companies and hence is does suffer, notably the lack of up to date flash support from Adobe.
I'm currently running 'current 8.0' after FreeBSD 7.0 releng was branched. A Cracking OS, just expect to put some work into it and remember it wont hold your hand like most modern day operating systems.

Yeah, folding at home, worry should have related more in my question.
Atm iv just ran FAH -freebsd with the linux libraries, its taking AGES, not quite sure if this is becuase it's a slow CPU or becuase of the fact it's FreeBSD running a linux "kernel" library?
Read somewhere something about rebuilding the linux libs kernel with SSE enabled?
Anyone had much experience with this? Or have any FreeBSD vs Linux benches?
@Earth[Tera].bin This is the Distributed forums, not OS Forums, I am very much aware of FreeBSD and any BSD derivs.

I dont know a lot about FreeBSD, but I though most linux binaries would run without a performance hit.
List your computer spec. Have you finished a work unit yet? How long did it take? Have you got any frame times? Folding does take long time to complete. For example, my Intel iMac takes a good 36 hours at least.
