FWIW, I don't believe in latest and greatest linux distro as a good
measure, but I do believe that there are only a few platforms that we
should make design decisions around:
- Linux 2.6
- FreeBSD 7
- Solaris 10
- Windows Vista
If something is *fast* or *good* and can be done on all of the above
platforms, I would argue we should do it from a design perspective, and
I'm very much opposed to limiting how we design stuff based on the
constraints of other less popular operating systems, cf
epoll/kqueue/event ports.
