DP DFKY is already much better, at least from a consistency standpoint. With FreeBSD some things are actually slower DP than UP. At least DFLY has somewhat linear performance, although far from optimal. Of course FreeBSD has more bells and whistles that work, as DFLY is not focused on features at the moment. Of course Matt is difficult to convince of anything, and he's trying to do everything by himself. He has tremendous strengths but will never admit to his areas of weakness, which is a big problem. But I think fundamentally their approach is a good one. Its going to be a lot easier for DFLY to adjust on the fly then FreeBSD. FreeBSD is just a big mess, IMO. But I may retire before either of them are what they hope to be. And I'm not that old :-) anyone tested OPenBSD lately? DT __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
