Yes, but you rounded to early, thus messing your answer off :-)
[root@khercs /root]# expr 437256192 / 24 / 60 / 60
5060
In lamens, 427256192 (Bytes in a gigabyte) / 24 hours / 60 minutes
/60 seconds = 5060 Bytes/second
[root@khercs /root]# expr 5060 / 1024
4
('expr' is a cheap math program.. writing a quick one gave me the correct
answer.)
[root@khercs /root]# ./newexpr 5060 / 1024
4.94146025
Note the Bytes in a gigabyte. A common missconseption is that 1
MegaNyte is a million Bytes, it is really 1024 * 1024, or 1,048,576 Bytes
The newexpr program is really cheasy, but if yoiu want it, email me
directly (see sig, or FROM header)
BTW, for those of you who have not figured it out yet, the correct answer
is 4.94146025 MB/second, a High, and hardly believeable number especially
on a 100MB/S co-location.
About the MS thing, the server thing is a neat fact.. kinda like how NT
could not handle NT, it kept dying so it stayed on slowaris..
