You assumptions are incorrect. I am completely unfamiliar with fefe's tests. I base this on my own tests and experiences, using OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Linux in various scenarios (mainly file/web/mail serving). In fact, OpenBSD gets trounced on by the others. > MP: > the SMP branch was debranched today. There are MP snapshots > available on the OpenBSD mirrors. Yes, I read that they're finally about ready to put SMP in "production". Kudos to the OpenBSD team. Despite OpenBSD's stellar record of quality, I'm not quite ready to put OpenBSD in production use on SMP boxes quite yet. > I've seen hints of kernel threads and internationalization coming > to OpenBSD soon, too, and this years hackathon will be happening > in the coming weeks. I hope that the OpenBSD project (well, ok, Theo) continues on this somewhat progressive track. They (Theo) were just fucking stupid for not getting on with SMP a long time ago (yes, I've read Theo's rant on why this didn't happen sooner, and I mostly disagree with him). I really hope things pan out for OpenBSD and they can get up to speed with the other OS's in terms of general features. It'd be cool to see the same efforts they put into security innovations, into general innovations as well, or at least incorporating them from other projects. While, OpenBSD is relatively slow as molasses, I really really dig the innovative security stuff and the sanity of the source code, that they've produced. ~ per _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
