I haven't spell-checked it yet, so don't worry about that... I just want to make sure I haven't made any factual errors. Please note that the companion articles referenced in this review (the ULE vs 4BSD and the FreeBSD Benchmarking articles) are not yet complete, and their links will go to the 404 page for right now. I hope to have them done soon. I'm subscribed to the list through a redirected email address with no SMTP access, so you don't have to forward responses to me directly. -Jem
