I disagree, on two points: * Many people use FreeBSD as a desktop OS. Think the same people who use Win98, but only slightly smarter. These people are 'sysadmins' only in the sense that they have a root password. When FreeBSD can't fill their DSL line and Linux can, they will switch to Linux never knowing what the real problem was. * Most sysadmins shouldn't be bothered with this. People running news or IRC servers, or huge (100+ box) web farms might know these tricks, but the guy who sets up a server to dump 100k/sec average of web pages shouldn't be bothered. To extend your logic, we might as well make it default to 4k, since that is the most resource conservative, and anyone who cares will increase it. -- Leo Bicknell - bicknell@ufp.org - CCIE 3440 PGP keys at http://www.ufp.org/~bicknell/ Read TMBG List - tmbg-list-request@tmbg.org, www.tmbg.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
