But then... we'll just have more Linuxes. That's it. At $JOB we have about 8,000 servers, mostly Windows, some Solaris, Linux, AIX, and a couple of FreeBSD machines thrown in for good measure... Oh yes, one OpenVMS machine too. The sites are entirely IPv4, so much so that the standard is to rip out IPv6 kernel modules if possible. They have no intention of moving to IPv6. Sites like this do exist. -- Cheers, Cy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@cschubert.com> FreeBSD UNIX: <cy@FreeBSD.org> Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
