About "commercial vendors and FreeBSD", well, there's one small company called "Apple", which does a thingie called "MacOS X". Are you (or is that zdnet troll) one of people, who belive it is Linux based? About "64-CPU boxes"... well, I'd consider buing 4 16-CPU ones and giving them to 4 most active kernel hackers. I strongly belive results would come faster, than you may expect. That's all. > The trick is to convince the zdnet readers of that in a way > that doesnt require going into OS details.

Perhaps that guy has some valid points, only he doesn't say about them specifically; instead he keeps on bashing the whole project. That could also be called "trolling". Feed him, if you want. Take care, -- m
