Heh, kinda funny to hear pthreads vs. fork() referred to as thin vs. fat since (AFAIK) pthreads are implemented on Linux using "clone()" (which is very much like fork()). But I understand that its different on most commercial Unixes... I'm not keen in R/T apps per-se but would like to hear about your experiences with threads and non-blocking IO. I have some fork/exec and pthreads experience--will have to go dig out my copy of Butenoff... ;-) > I am thinking about exposing my app to the world at sometime.
