Agree, there are other lists for this stuff;  and back to what one of
the original posters said: it doesn't matter much.

[Also not a regular poster, but I always gain something from reading
this list.]

Most people who really go into OS selection /  FS selection are looking
for a cheap/silver bullet for performance.  No such thing exists.  The
difference made by any modern OS/FS is almost immaterial.  You need to
do the slow slogging work of site/application specific optimization and
tuning;  that is where you will find significant performance
improvements.
