At one point, back when I was actually doing this FreeBSD was up to 11 or
so. I finally quit because it was boring and the progress was SLOW. All
of these people/machines working on this for over a year and a half and
we've covered 6.5% of the keyspace? Blah. It seems to me that 64 bit
encryption is plenty good. :-)
If and when SETI@home gets up I'll probably do that.
