Which is *REALLY* quite sad that *ANYBODY* would run Linux as any
kind of network anything.. We've installed it here several times
(don't ask why) over the past two years, and every time, FreeBSD
BLEW IT AWAY!  We installed the last version of Linux here recently
as a T1 router... Ping times of 10.4ms - 20.2ms, installed FreeBSD
(same exact hardware using pull-out hard-drives) and got 7.5ms -
10.5ms... And that's only part of it!
