I was just looking over the stats of the RC5-64 cracking effort (http://rc5stats.distributed.net). FreeBSD users in Japan are kicking butt! According to the "Top 100 Overall" list the team "Japan FreeBSD Users Group" has been in the running for only six days and have already taken 7th place. Just yesterday, the "individual" rc5@jp.freebsd.org held first place beating rc5@linux.or.jp with over twice as many blocks checked. Other teams in the top ten have been there for about a month or more. But the Japan FreeBSD Users Group has a decent amount of blocks under its belt (628,000) and in only six days time. It will still take an monumental effort to unseat the first place team, the Apple EvangeListas, who have done over four million blocks. (Those Apple users have an incredible rc5 client. Is there an instruction on the PowerPC called "CRK-RC5" which does a key check in a single cycle?) Team FreeBSD is looking a bit green next to this. But hey, if they're helping promote FreeBSD, more power to them! --Sean
