Since people have been saying we should show that FBSD is stable by pointing out Yahoo and Walnut Creek, I thought this statement in their press release was very interesting. "Yahoo! also announced that traffic on the Yahoo! global network of properties increased to an average of 95 million page views per day during the month of March 1998, compared to an average of 65 million page views per day in December 1997." Note that averages out to over a 1000 hits/second! You can read the whole press release here: http://www.yahoo.com/docs/pr/release166.html I'd say taking a 1000 hits/sec must require a stable OS. :-) ********************************************************* Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
