http://www.posi.net/freebsd/Team-FreeBSD/ I am pleased to announce that Team FreeBSD on distributed.net has a new look! Distributed.net (http://www.distributed.net) is currently running a distributed effort to crack the rc5-64 cryptographic code per an RSA challenge. Past distributed.net efforts have included cracking DES encryption and rc5-56 encryption. The project works by utilizing your machine's idle time to perform a brute-force check of all possibly cryptographic keys. Future projects will include the search for optimal golumb rulers. Team FreeBSD is organized to show the world that not only does FreeBSD have the power to serve, but enough power left over to do some serious key-cracking :) Currently, Team FreeBSD is ranked 23rd on distributed.net's team rankings (http://stats.distributed.net/rc5-64/tlist.php3?low=1&limit=100) with a meager 265 members. Let's get those numbers up! In hopes that by increasing our ranking and thus drawing increased attention to FreeBSD from other distributed.net participants, the Team FreeBSD site has been overhauled. We encourage you to check it out at http://www.posi.net/freebsd/Team-FreeBSD/ and participate. Let's bring FreeBSD to it's rightful seat as #1! ~kbyanc@alcnet.com~ FreeBSD - The Power To Serve - http://www.freebsd.org/ Join Team FreeBSD - http://www.posi.net/freebsd/Team-FreeBSD/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
