I stayed because I liked the entire system. I'm sure that Linux does TCP processing as fast as possible, and that in-kernel servers (NFS and the TUX webserver) are blazingly fast. I do have Linux 2.4 running on an old machine, but I have no intention of taking down my FreeBSD box to dual boot Linux just to compare penis size. Has anyone recently done so? -- Jonathan Graehl http://jonathan.graehl.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
