(FreeBSD w/fxp vs Linux w/de--should go well considering Linux has only alpha support for the intel cards:) It's really sad that people at our lab have flocked to linux on the soul basis of the performance of a single driver. (Which took someone 2 days to get working I might add.. I really don't understand the rational here.) Chris
