As long as you need it to be - if it's too long for the newsletter,
we'll put the original article up as a tutorial and just take an
edited version for the newsletter. :-)

Let me know when you have the updated version ready and I'll be happy
to send detailed comments.  I've noticed a few errors here and there
in your description of freebsd behavior, but if you say you wrote this
very early in the game then chances are you already know what they are
and will fix them in the 2nd draft. :-)

In any case, a comparison from a (former?) Linux user would definitely
be much more welcome than the biased FreeBSD-only perspective most of
us could bring to such an article, so this is good stuff - I'm looking
forward to the 2nd pass!
