If I read the results, we'll be able to match Novell's faster web software with our faster OS and okay websoftware by using much faster disks and equal net performance. As you know, my original Challenge used $3000 hardware, and eventually I'd like to force them to compete on that which is really _our_ turf. However, I think we can match or beat their numbers with trick hardware. Even if Apache is slower, if our hardware is faster and we solve the bandwidth limit problem so we can USE the hardware performance we are designing, we won't just get 'ok' numbers. Lastly, if you think 2.0 is going to be better and is going to be released within 6 months of June 28th, why not help us by tweaking _it_ to be better and faster. Just cut an interim release which is our tweaked version, and that satisfies the 'generally available' clause. I have gotten great benefit from your devil's advocate comments, and I hope you will continue to contribute to this effort. That said, I hope you can switch gears and start figuring out what you _can_ do to help us 'win' in this attempt. We're going to do it, will you help? --> Don To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
