My understanding is that it does. The other thing I find interesting is that in my experience most "Linux" applications run faster on freebsd using linux emulation that they do on linux! I think this may have something to do with differences in kernel overhead.. but you may need to speak to someone with greater technical knowlege than I for an explanation. David & & Can anyone specifically state the status of PCI-X support in FreeBSD? The & state of support in 5.X is fine too. This is a major issue as we determine & which platform to move forward on. & & Note that I do mean PCI-X. I'm aware that PCI-Express is on Scott Long's & wish-list of things to get implemented. & & Cheers, & DMK & & P.S. - Please cc me on all replies. & _______________________________________________ & freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list & http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions & To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" & -- 40 yrs navigating and computing in blue waters.
