FreeBSD needs the PR, imho...I just started running the client and would be glad to switch to a fbsd team. One other thing, only the proportion of the key space from this time forword determines the probability of a team win (finding the key). So the longer the team waits to start, the more probable a win *if* the contest hasn't ended... So even if team fbsd doesn't get an overall performance award, depending on the number of machines on the team there's a equitable chance of a win. If we move! That's not rigorous analysis, but I think it holds water...:) My $ 0.02, Riley > From: mika ruohotie <bsdchat@shadows.aeon.net> > Subject: Re: FBSD-Team for "The Bovine RC5 Cracking Effort" > To: jesse@eva.cs.Uni-Magdeburg.DE > Date: Tue, 8 Jul 1997 15:17:14 +0300 (EET DST) > Cc: freebsd-chat@FreeBSD.ORG > > mika ruohotie writes: > > > since rc5 has been going on for some time now, new email would not > > That is right.
