I made the mistake of mentioning a 2-3X performance difference between FreeBSD and another OS -- and of course, it was difficult to show that result (and convince those who will disagree by default) without exposing a proprietary development setup. No matter how true the result was (and it was), convincing the receivers of the info can be difficult (and often not worth it.) FreeBSD is quite amazing, in that it is dependable in "end" conditions that many other OSes start acting "wierd." The BSD code legacy (for all of it's warts) is impressive. -- John | Never try to teach a pig to sing, dyson@iquest.net | it makes one look stupid jdyson@nc.com | and it irritates the pig.
