Now's the time, it's hot! Hi All Well, now that the NDR is over I can talk about it. I work for ISPchannel who is owned by Softnet. I have been working with Inktomi for abt 2-3 months now on the FreeBSD port. You have Our CTO to tha= nk for getting them to port it to FreeBSD as he is a long time FBSD user. A nice quote from an engineer at Inktomi was " I'm happy you wanted to por= t it to FreeBSD and not Linux. Linux just isn't up to the task yet" The port heavely uses the add on "linux" threads library and requires the kernel to be set to Posix compliance via the posix options, but it is real sweet and will really help to open people up to the power of FreeBSD! I hopefully will be setting up and testing the latest/last beta today. It = will be ready for Prime time real soon.
