One of the things that Jordan mentioned at the kickoff meeting for the Netherlands FreeBSD User Group (NLFUG) this past weekend (where he actually made the first unofficial announcement, but we had to keep a lid on things until the official announcement had gone out) was that BSD/OS has a superior SMP implementation (with fine-grained locking) and that this was one of the things they were really looking forward to incorporating into FreeBSD. I don't recall whether he specifically mentioned how they handle threading. You weren't at the NLFUG meeting? I sent e-mail on the subject to the freebsd-users@freebsd-uk.eu.org mailing list on Friday about this (asking whether anyone else was going), with a pointer to the agenda, etc.... I know that was really late for anyone to change their plans, but you should have at least seen the note. -- These are my opinions and should not be taken as official Skynet policy ========================================================================= Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Sys.
