Date: Mon, 2 Dec 1996 22:30:11 -0500 (EST) From: Frank Seltzer <frankd@yoda.fdt.net> It seems to me that every time that a Linux fanatic stumbles into one of FreeBSD's mailing lists they start a 'My OS can beat up your OS' argument, though the name calling usually doesn't come so quickly. I've never stated anything like this, I wish these claims would subside. Linux, as well as FreeBSD, has its strengths and weaknesses, as does any other OS. I totally agree, and have never stated anything to the contrary, even though people wish that I have in some way. Were the Linux advocate an intelligent and reasonable person, an informative discussion could be had discussing these points. Ok, a plea for intelligence... In noting the .edu domain of your address, I originally thought that you might be a college student. I now believe that I am addressing the janitor in the Computer Science Department. ...and then an immature remark ---------------------------------------------//// Yow! 11.26 MB/s remote host TCP bandwidth & //// 199 usec remote TCP latency over 100Mb/s //// ethernet. Beat that! //// -----------------------------------------////__________ o David S. Miller, davem@caip.rutgers.edu /_____________/ / // /_/ ><
