Well , if the speaker was from SGI that explains everything 8) Oh, before someone from SGI or FreeBSD wants to say something my girlfriend works there and I am familiar with their culture: We are the *best* or my opinion is the *best one*. At any rate, what we do have to do is to make our own presentation. Right now, Linux's networking and mbone offering is poor and we should exploit that to the max by way of giving a presentation who knows evenat at Usenix. For sure we can depend on the Linux crowd to take away credits where they are due to FreeBSD 8) > I think the major Unix producers should look at the projected P6 numbers and > glowing praise of free unix-clones and (in the words of Staelin/McVoy talking > about the P6), "be afraid, be very afraid". Well, if Intel or someone increases the memory bandwith the P6 may be something. At any rate, I doubt that the P6 will cut into the high end 3d graphic market . It seems that the PC market is dragging or dodging the 3d hardware market. The first deployment of 3d graphic hardware should be barely okay. As for compile engines or something to put in an engineers desk to develop software Larry or whomever is right --- they better be afraid 8) Amancio
