So they got a wheel just as fast as ours 8) Perhaps faster in some circumstances. Don't make the same mistakes as Linus does in judging something by name and quick glances only. (``As to _why_ Linux is that fast, the reason is simply that Linux has a better interface to the kernel than any other UNIX I know about.'' -- The only explanation why one would not call this sentence `arrogant' might be that Linus perhaps doesn't know very many other UNIXes.) You should not listen to the shouting people. However, have a look at the guy called `Pedro'. No, you don't find him in the hot parts of the discussion... but his argumentations makes sense, and he seems to have a couple of valid points. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
